The Ballad Of John Henry Lyrics - 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 

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 ...
