The Ballad Of John Henry
Joe Bonamassa

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 Captain

I'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 Ohhh Ohhh

I killed John Henry, In the battle of sinners and saints Ohhh Ohhh
