John Henry Lives Lyrics - Singles - Laura Veirs

Hear the whistle blow far off 

In the still night without stars 

See the tracks laid flat with a hammer's might 

They're the spike driver's scars 

They're the spike driver's scars 

By the railroad ties there a hammer lies it's all painted in red 

It's all painted in red, it's all painted in red 

By the railroad ties there a hammer lies it's all painted in red 

It's all painted in red, it's all painted in red 

The west springs up from the spike driver's blues 

And the captain's new shiny shoes take to him this hat 

And hammer and tell him i'm gone i'm gone i'm gone i'm gone i'm gone 

By the railroad ties there a hammer lies it's all painted in red 

It's all painted in red, it's all painted in red 

By the railroad ties there a hammer lies it's all painted in red 

It's all painted in red, it's all painted in red
