Lyrics

Who killed
John Henry ,
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed
John Henry ,
In the battle of sinners and saints
Take this hammer carry it to the
Captain ,
Tell him why i'm gone
Take this hammer carry it to the
Captain ,
Tell him i'm goin' home
I don't want your cold iron shackles around my leg
I don't want your cold iron shackles around my leg
Who killed
John Henry ,
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed
John Henry ,
In the battle of sinners and saints
I'm a long way from
Colorado ,
A long way from my home...
Get the hammer that killed
John Henry ,
Won't kill me no more
Gimme the hammer that killed
John Henry ,
Cos it won't kill me
Gimme the hammer that killed
John Henry ,
Cos it won't kill me
Who killed
John Henry ,
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed
John Henry ,
In the battle of sinners and saints
Take this hammer carry it to the
Captain ,
Tell him i'm goin' home
Take this hammer carry it to the
Captain ,
Tell him why i'm gone
I'm a wanted man with the
CaptainI'm a wanted man in the shackles
I'm a wanted man in the shackles
I'm a wanted man .....
Who killed
John Henry ,
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed
John Henry ,
In the battle of sinners and saints
Ohhhh Ohhhhhhh
I killed John
Henry , In the battle of sinners and saints
Ohhhh Ohhhhhhhhh
