The Day John Henry Died - Drive-By Truckers[00:00:00]

I watched the rain it settled in we disappeared for days again[00:00:00]

Most of us were staying in lazy like the sky[00:00:07]

The letters flew across the wire filtered through a million liars[00:00:13]

The whole world smelled like burning tires the day john henry died[00:00:20]

We knew about that big machine that ran on human hope and steam[00:00:26]

Bets on john were far between and mostly on the side[00:00:33]

We heard he put up quite a fight his hands and feet turned snowy white[00:00:39]

That hammer rang out through the night the day john henry died[00:00:46]

When john henry was a little bitty baby nobody ever taught him how to read[00:00:52]

But he knew the perfect way to hold a hammer was the way[00:01:04]

The railroad baron held the deed[00:01:12]

It didn't matter if he won if he lived or if he'd run[00:01:18]

They changed the way his job was done labor costs were high[00:01:24]

That new machine was cheap as hell and only john would work as well[00:01:31]

So they left him laying where he fell the day john henry died[00:01:37]

John henry was a steel driving bastard but john henry was a bastard[00:01:45]

Just the same[00:01:54]

An engine never thinks about his daddy and an engine never needs[00:01:58]

To write it's name[00:02:07]

So pack your bags we're headed west and l a ain't no place to rest[00:02:11]

You'll need some sleep to pass the test so get some on the flight[00:02:17]

And say your prayers john henry ford 'cause we don't need your work no more[00:02:24]

You should have known the final score the day john henry died[00:02:31]

The day john henry died[00:02:40]
