JOHN HENRY
Traditional; arranged by Joe Thompson

Steel drivin’ man, don’t you see, Lordy
Steel drivin’ man, don’t you see
Died with a hammer in his hand, Lordy
Died with a hammer in his hand

Steel drivin’ man, don’t you see, Lordy

Died with a hammer in his hand, Lordy
Died with a hammer in his hand
