Okay, go ahead
ย
Take this hammer
And carry it to my captain
Won't you tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
John Henry was
A steel-driving man
But he went down
He went down
ย
Take this hammer
And carry it to my captain
Tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
ย
I walked all the way
From East Colorado
Honey, that's my home
Honey, that's my home
That's why I'm gone
Take this hammer
And carry it to my captain
Oh, tell him I'm gone
Won't you tell him I'm gone
ย
This is the hammer
That killed John Henry
But it won't kill me
But it won't kill me
But it won't kill me
John Henry
Hะต left his hammer
Layin' 'side thะต road
Layin' 'side the road
Layin' 'side the road
ย
John Henry
He left his hammer
All painted in red
All painted in red
All painted in red
