Well, when John Henry died he lay lookin' at the sun | |
He said Lord, take me now my work is done, Lord, Lord
 | |
Lord take me now my work is done | |
Yeah, but when they laid him out in that box of pine, boy
 | |
They laid that hammer by his side, Lord, Lord
 | |
Laid that hammer by his side | |
Yeah, and Joe Hill he worked any job he could find, boy | |
He'd rake your leaves and pick your vine, Lord, Lord | |

Rake your leaves and pick your vine
 | |
Yeah, and they killed Joe Hill, put a bullet to his name
 | |
But that bullet made a martyr of the same, Lord, Lord | |
Bullet made a martyr of the same | |
Yeah, and my grand daddy worked his whole damn life | |
Well, he never saved a nickel though he tried, Lord, Lord | |
Never saved a nickel though he tried
 | |
And he died in Tennessee but he couldn't find no rest | |
With that long road to Texas lyin' ahead, Lord Lord | |
Long road to Texas lyin' ahead | |
Yes sir, I ain't no great man and Lord I expect to see | |
A long life, a workin' and you're dead, Lord, Lord | |
A long life, a workin' and you're dead
 | |
They killed John Henry, they killed John Henry | |
They killed John Henry but they won't kill me | |
Lord, they killed John Henry, they killed John Henry
 | |
They killed John Henry but they won't kill me |
Well, when John Henry died he lay lookin' at the sun | |
He said Lord, take me now my work is done, Lord, Lord | |
Lord take me now my work is done | |
