Justin Townes Earle - Текст песни They Killed John Henry
Well, when John Henry died he lay lookin' at the sun
He said Lord, take me now my work is done, Lord, Lordâ¨
Lord take me now my work is done
Yeah, but when they laid him out in that box of pine, boyâ¨
They laid that hammer by his side, Lord, Lordâ¨
Laid that hammer by his side
Yeah, and Joe Hill he worked any job he could find, boy
He'd rake your leaves and pick your vine, Lord, Lord
â¨Rake your leaves and pick your vineâ¨
Yeah, and they killed Joe Hill, put a bullet to his nameâ¨
But that bullet made a martyr of the same, Lord, Lord
Bullet made a martyr of the same

Yeah, and my grand daddy worked his whole damn life
Well, he never saved a nickel though he tried, Lord, Lord
Never saved a nickel though he triedâ¨
And he died in Tennessee but he couldn't find no rest
With that long road to Texas lyin' ahead, Lord Lord
Long road to Texas lyin' ahead
Yes sir, I ain't no great man and Lord I expect to see
A long life, a workin' and you're dead, Lord, Lord
A long life, a workin' and you're deadâ¨
They killed John Henry, they killed John Henry
They killed John Henry but they won't kill me
Lord, they killed John Henry, they killed John Henryâ¨
They killed John Henry but they won't kill me
