[Verse 1]
John Henry was a steel drivin' man
John Henry was a steel drivin' man
He died in West Virginia with his hammer in his hand
They sing about him all across the land
John Henry was a steel drivin' man

[Verse 2]
He beat the steam drill down and then he died
He beat the steam drill down and then he died
And it didn't change nothin', but heaven knows he tried
He was buried with his hammer by his side
He beat the steam drill down and then he died
John Henry

[Instrumental Verse]

[Verse 3]
There's coal beneath the mountain down below
There's coal beneath the mountain down below
And the company come to take it but the work was hard and slow
Said well there ain't no money in it, we'll just go
Right now there's coal beneath the mountain down below

[Verse 4]
The union come and tried to make a stand
The union come and tried to make a stand
And West Virginia miners voted union to a man
You'd never know it now but that was then
When the union come and tried to make a stand
