Lyrics:
Well, John Henry was a little baby
Sittin' on his dady's knee
He pick up a hammer and a little piece of steel,
And cried, "Hammer's gonna be
laughed about how good things used to be
This big city ain't good for me
I'll meet you down by the cottonwood tree
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
your name
Thinking of all those yesterdays
Heaven help me
How I miss my friend
Dear John I'll see you
Some day again
There'll be a celebration
laughed about how good things used to be
This big city ain't good for me
I'll meet you down by the cottonwood tree
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
brought a steam driver around
On John Henry's face was a smile
Just give me a twelve pound hammer Mister Boss
And I'll beat that driver by a mile
Lord,
Wait for me
Wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by
John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should've
John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress, cried the whole way home
I should've
Wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
I need your love
I need your love
God
John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress, cried the whole way home
I should've
I am such a lonely boy looking for someone to love
And when I find someone to love
I'll be happy
You are such a lonely girl looking for
Where ever you may be, I'll still be true
And when the clouds roll by I'll come to you
But until then I'll drink my lonely wine
But if you'll bring that steamdrill 'round I'll beat it fair and honest.
I'll die with that hammer in my hand but, I'll be laughin',
Cause you can't
John Henry said to his captain said "A man ain't nothin' but a man
But if you'll bring that steamdrill 'round I'll beat it fair and honest.
I'll die
Got you by my side,
I'll never be lonely.
Got you by my side,
I'll never be afraid.
Never be lonely anymore.
Turn away the fools from my door.
In the lonely, dead of midnight
In the dimness, of the twilight
By the streetlight, by the lamplight
I'll be around
In the sunlight, in
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
But if you'll bring that steam drill round, I'll beat it fair and honest
I'll die with my hammer in my hand but I'll be laughin'
'Cuz you can't replace
Whoa, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still
to agree
I'm as fickle as a paper doll
Being kicked by the wind
When I touch down again
I'll be in someone else's arms
Oh, John, come on
We'll do
I'm by your side
So don't you ever be lonely
Love will make it alright
When the shadows are closing in
And your spirit diminishing
Just remember
hammer be the death of me, Lord, Lord
Said hammer be the death of me
When John Henry's fam'ly needed money,
Said he didn't have but a dime
If you
fear
Even if you're miles away
I'm by your side
So don't you ever be lonely
It's alright
It's alright, it's alright
Yes, you know it's alright
riverside
Wait for me
Wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need
