You killed John Henry
In a battle of sins and sins
You killed John Henry
In a battle of sins and sins
And saved a salmon
Carried to the captain
Tell him I'm going home
You killed John Henry
And saved a salmon
Carried to the captain
Tell him I'm going home
I don't want your
Cold iron shackles
Round my leg
I don't want your
Cold iron shackles
Round my leg
You killed John Henry
In a battle of sins
And sins
You killed John Henry
In a battle of sins
And sins
I'm a long way
From Colorado
A long way
From my home
I'm a long way
To get to the top
Take this hammer
And it won't kill no more
Take this hammer
And it won't kill no more

And it won't kill no more
Take this hammer
And it won't kill no more
Take this hammer
And it won't kill no more
Take this hammer
To kill John Henry
Ain't no battle of sins to take
Ain't no battle of sins to take
Ain't no battle of sins to take
Ain't no battle of sins to take
Ain't no battle of sins to take
Ain't no battle of sins to take
Ain't no battle of sins to take
Ain't no battle of sins to take
Ain't no battle of sins to take
I killed John Henry
Ain't no battle of sins to take
Ain't no battle of sins to take
Ain't no battle of sins to take
