Well, when John Henry died he lay lookin' at the sun
He said Lord, take me now my work is done, Lord, Lord
Lord take me now my work is doneYeah, but when they laid him out in that box of pine, boy
They laid that hammer by his side, Lord, Lord
Laid that hammer by his sideYeah, and Joe Hill he worked any job he could find, boy
He'd rake your leaves and pick your vine, Lord, Lord
Rake your leaves and pick your vineYeah, and they killed Joe Hill, put a bullet to his name
But that bullet made a martyr of the same, Lord, Lord
Bullet made a martyr of the sameYeah, 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 triedAnd 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' aheadYes 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 deadThey 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 Henry
They killed John Henry but they won't kill me

Это интересно:Если твой папа – Стив Эрл (Steve Earle), и тебя назвали в честь Таунса ван Зандта (Townes Van Zandt), было бы глупо становиться дальнобойщиком или дрессировщиком тюленей. Вот и поет Джастин кондовые американские песенки про любовь, родителей и ветер в прериях, что колышет кукурузу. В общем, блуждает где-то между традиционным кантри, американой, инди-роком, блюзом... продолжение
