One of these days I'm gonna lay this hammer down |
|
I won't have to drag this weight around |
|
When there ain't no hunger and there ain't no pain |
|
I won't have to swing this thing |
|
One of these days I'm gonna lay this hammer down |
|
One of these nights I'm gonna sing a different tune |
|
All night long beneath the silvery moon |
|
When the war is over and the union's strong |
|
Won't sing no more angry songs |
|
One of these nights I'm gonna sing a different tune |
|
Someday when my struggle's through |
|
I won't have to strive |
|
Until then all I can do |
|
Is let my hammer fly |
|
Oh, one of these days I'm gonna lay this hammer down |
|
Leave my burden restin' on the ground |
|
When the air don't choke ya and the ocean's clean |
|
And the kids don't die for gasoline |
|
One of these days I'm gonna lay this hammer down |
|
John Henry was a mighty man |
|
He worked his whole life long |
|
When he made that hammer ring |
|
He always sang this song |
|
One of these days I'm gonna lay this hammer down |
|
And I won't have to drag this weight around |
|
When there ain't no hunger and there ain't no pain |
|
I won't have to swing this thing |
|
One of these days I'm gonna lay this hammer down |
|
Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna lay this hammer down |
