The Ballad of John Henry

Who killed John Henry , In the battle of sinners and saints

Who killed John Henry , In the battle of sinners and saints

Take this hammer carry it to the Captain , Tell him why i'm gone

Take this hammer carry it to the Captain , Tell him i'm goin' home

I don't want your cold iron shackles around my leg

I don't want your cold iron shackles around my leg

Who killed John Henry , In the battle of sinners and saints

Who killed John Henry , In the battle of sinners and saints

I'm a long way from Colorado , A long way from my home...

Get the hammer that killed John Henry , Won't kill me no more

Gimme the hammer that killed John Henry , Cos it won't kill me

Gimme the hammer that killed John Henry , Cos it won't kill me

Who killed John Henry , In the battle of sinners and saints

Who killed John Henry , In the battle of sinners and saints

Take this hammer carry it to the Captain , Tell him i'm goin' home

Take this hammer carry it to the Captain , Tell him why i'm gone

I'm a wanted man with the Captain

I'm a wanted man in the shackles

I'm a wanted man in the shackles I'm a wanted man ...

Who killed John Henry , In the battle of sinners and saints

Who killed John Henry , In the battle of sinners and saints Ohhh Ohhh

I killed John Henry , In the battle of sinners and saints Ohhh Ohhh
