SPIKE DRIVER BLUES

Spike Driver Blues - Mississippi John Hurt

Written by：John Hurt

Take this hammer and

Carry it to my captain

Tell him I'm gone

Tell him I'm gone

Tell him I'm gone

Take this hammer

And carry it to my captain

Tell him I'm gone

You tell him I'm gone

I'm sure he's gone

This is the hammer that killed John henry

But it won't kill me

But it won't kill me

But it won't kill me

This is the hammer that killed John henry

But it won't kill me

But it won't kill me

Ain't gon' kill me

It's a long ways to heed colorado

Headed to my home

Headed to my home

Headed to my home

It's a long ways to heed colorado

Headed to my home

Headed to my home

That's where I'm goin'

John henry he's left his hammer

Beside the road

Beside the road

Beside the road

John henry he's left his hammer

All over these rails

All over these rails

That's why I'm gone

John henry's a steel drivin' boy

But he went down

But he went down

But he went down

John henry's a steel drivin' boy

But he went down

But he went down

That's why I'm gone
