Dave Van Ronk
spike driver blues
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
Take this hammer and carry it to my captain
Tell him I'm gone, won't you tell him I'm gone
Won't you tell him where I'm gone?
John Henry, he left his hammer
Layin' 'side the road, layin' 'side the road
Layin' 'side the road
John Henry, he left his hammer
Painted in red, all painted in red
All painted in red
Take this hammer and carry it to my captain
Tell him I'm gone, won't you tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
