They Killed John Henry Lyrics

	作曲 : Earle
	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 done
	Yeah, 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 side
	Yeah, 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 vine
	Yeah, 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 same
	Yeah, 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 tried
	And he died in
	Tennessee but he couldn't find no rest
	With that long road to
	Texas lyin' ahead,
	Lord LordLong road to
	Texas lyin' ahead
	Yes 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 dead
	They 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
