Lyrics:
I kneel to no-one except the lord
And my lord is steel
If you see me you just passed your time
To the hills, can run but not hide
Blood and death are

He picked up a hammer, a little piece of steel,
Said hammer be the death of me, Lord, Lord
Said hammer be the death
on his daddy's knee
He picked up a hammer, a little piece of steel,
Said hammer be the death of me, Lord, Lord
Said hammer be the death of me

around heard him and come down
To watch make the coal-steel ring "Lord! What a swinger!

But the bad boys came up
around heard him and come down
To watch make the coal-steel ring "Lord! What a swinger!
Watch him make the coal-steel ring"
But the bad boys came up
make the cold steel ring, Lord what a swinger
Just listen to that cold steel ring
But the bad boss come up laughin' at John Henry
Said, "You full
give a groan every swing
The women-folks from miles around heard him and come down
To watch make the cold-steel ring "Lord! What a swinger!
Watch him
