John Henry and the Old North Wind, by Joe Purdy, from CD Canyon Joe
Capo 2, Standard Tuning. Lots of hammer-ons on C and Am.
1.
Come in, come in John Henry
Come in out of the cold
Cause that Old North Wind is calling
But it ain't time for you to go
2.
Sit down Miss Pollyanna
Please wait for my return
Cause that Old North Wind is calling
But my love for you still burns
3.
Don't go, don't go John Henry
Please lay down your hammer today
Cause that Old North Wind is calling
And she'll put you in the grave
4.
Don't worry Pollyanna
You know that I can't stay home
But if that Old North Wind is calling
I will fight her like a hammer to a stone
5.
Come quick Miss Pollyanna
John Henry was taken today
That Old North Wind came calling him in
He was still fighting as he faded away
He was still fighting as he faded away
