lirik lagu spikedriver blues [live in new york / 1970] – doc watson
[intro]
to show you the different kinds of blues
here’s one of the late john hurt’s tunes
and merle here is a pretty good example of the youngsters that loved uncle john’s playin’
and sort of took a liking to it and decided they’d learn a little something about it
i will not pick much on this, just a little bit
let merle do most of the lead, i’ll play a little sort of harmony
maybe i’ll sing it
“spikedriver’s blues”
[verse 1]
john henry was a steel driving boy
but he went down, yes, hе went down
he went down
[chorus]
takе my hammer and give it to the captain
boys, tell him i’m gone, you can tell him i’m gone
yes, tell him i’m gone
[verse 2]
this old hammer done k!lled john henry
it ain’t gon’ k!ll me, no, it won’t k!ll me
ain’t gon’ k!ll me
[verse 3]
it’s a long way from east colorado
honey to my home, honey to my home
honey to my home
[verse 4]
john henry, he left his hammer
all painted red, all shining red
john henry left
[chorus]
take this hammer and give it to the captain
you can tell him i’m gone, boys, tell him i’m gone
you sure he’s gone?
