[Joe Bonamassa - The Ballad of John Henry Live from the Royal Albert Hall lyrics]
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Take this hammer carry it to the Captain
Tell him why I'm gone
Take this hammer carry it to the Captain
Tell him I'm goin' home
I don't want your cold iron
Shackles around my leg
I don't want your cold iron
Shackles around my leg
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
I'm a long way from Colorado
A long way from my home
Get the hammer that killed John Henry
Won't kill me no more
Gimme the hammer that killed John Henry
Cos it won't kill me
Gimme the hammer that killed John Henry
Cos it won't kill me
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Take this hammer carry it to the Captain
Tell him I'm goin' home
Take this hammer carry it to the Captain
Tell him why I'm gone
I'm a wanted man with the Captain
I'm a wanted man in the shackles
I'm a wanted man in the
Shackles I'm a wanted man
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints Ohhh Ohhh
I killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints Ohhh Ohhh
