Rhiannon Giddens & Justin Robinson Lyrics

"John Henry"

Steel-driving man, don't you see, Lordy?
Steel-driving man, don't you see?
Died with a hammer in his hand, Lordy
Died with a hammer in his hand

Steel-driving man, don't you see, Lordy?
Steel-driving man, don't you see?
Died with a hammer in his hand, Lordy
Died with a hammer in his hand
