Spike Drivers Blues

Mississippi John Hurt

This is the hammer that killed John Henry
But it won't kill me
No it won't kill me
No it won't kill me

Take this hammer and hand to a captain
And tell him I'm gone
Won't you tell him I'm gone
Won't you tell him I'm gone

John Henry he left his hammer
Laying side of the road
Laying side of the road
Laying side of the road

John Henry he left his hammer
All painted in red
All painted in red
All painted in red

John Henry he left his hammer
Laying side of the road
Won't you tell him I'm gone
Won't you tell him I'm gone

John Henry he left his hammer
All painted in red
All painted in red
All painted in red
