This am the hammer
Kill John Henry say
Kill John Henry
Can't kill me

Oh honey baby feelin' mighty low
Oh honey baby feelin' mighty low
Goin' where there ain't no ice and snow
I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow
Honey baby I ain't coming back no more
Oh honey baby I ain't coming back no more

This ol' hammer
Rings like silver say
Rings like silver
Shine like gold
