Take this hammer and carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone
Take this hammer and carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone

I don't want your cold iron shackles
Round my leg, round my leg, round my leg
I don't want your cold iron shackles
Round my leg, round my leg, round my leg

It's a long way from Colorado
To my home, to my home, to my home
It's a long way from Colorado
To my home, to my home, to my home

This is the hammer that killed John Henry
Won't kill me, won't kill me, won't kill me
This is the hammer that killed John Henry
Won't kill me, won't kill me, won't kill me

Take this hammer and carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone
This is the hammer and carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone
