Key: C major
Verse 1
sittin' on his mama's knee
Said the big bend tunnel
on the Seno Road
It's gonna be the death of me
Well, it's gonna be the death of me
Well, it's gonna be the death of me
Lord, it's gonna be the death of me
John Henry went in the town
He went in the town to drive
The rocks were so tall,
John Henry was so small
Till he laid down his hammer and he cried
Oh, he laid down his hammer and he cried
Well, he laid down his hammer and he cried
Oh, he laid down his hammer
and he cried
John Henry had a little woman,
her name was Polly Ann
When Henry got sick and
he could not work
Lord, Polly drove steel like a man
Lord, Polly drove steel like a man
Well, Polly drove steel like a man
Well, Polly drove speed like a man
Put one hole in the headings
You can put one hole in the side
Well, the mountain was so tall
John Henry was so small
Till he laid down his
hammer and he died
Thought he laid down his
hammer and he died
Lord, he laid down his
hammer and he died
Ab
Eb
Lord, he laid down his hammer and he died
