Readin' maps to magic roads with
John Walker sat in robes

Well, the Captain said to John Henry
"I'm gonna bring my steam drill around

"I'm gonna bring my steam drill around
Gonna bring my steam drill out
Message well, eh, what we like to hear most
Is one of our songs, you know

What John and I have
This hammer gonna be the death of me
Well John Henry was a steel drivin' man

Flowers at sunset, blues in the night
Kissed by a river in the pale moonlight
