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 doneYeah, 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 sideYeah, 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 vineYeah, 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 sameYeah, 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 triedAnd 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' aheadYes 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 deadThey 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
