woody guthrie - jackhammer john lyrics

Loading...

jackhammer john was a jackhammer man,
born with a jackhammer in his hand.
lord, lord and he had them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.

i built your roads and buildings too,
and i’m gonna build a d-mn or two.
lord, lord, well i had them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.

i was borned in portland town,
built every port from alasky down;
lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.

built your bridges, dug your mines,
been in jail a thousand times.
lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.

jackhammer, jackhammer, where ya been?
been out a-chasin’ them gals again;
lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.

jackhammer man from a jackhammer town,
i can hammer till the sun goes down,
lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.

i hammered on the boulder, hammered on the b-tte,
columbia river on a five-mile chute;
lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.

workin’ on the bonneville, hammered all night
a-tryin’ to bring the people some electric light,
lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.

i hammered on bonneville, coulee too,
always broke when my job was through,
lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.

i hammered on the river from sun to sun,
fifteen million salmon run;
lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.

i hammered in the rain, i hammered in the dust,
i hammered in the best and i hammered in the worst;
lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.

i got a jackhammer gal just as sweet as pie,
and i’m a-gonna hammer till the day i die,
lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.
i got them jackhammer blues.
