Mountain Rain

All the miles stacked like
A millionaire's money but I can't get 'em
Back, and I'm sorry for that, honey
There's tracks behind my feet
Mud up to my knees working with John Henry
But he's so hard to please
He's so hard to please

Down around Big Bend with the West Virginians
Hammer in the morning
Hammer in the mountain rain
John had a nine pound hammer
Died with it in his hand
Never did see the light
Light at the tunnel's end
Light at the tunnel's end

All the miles stacked like
A millionaire's money
But I can't get 'em back
And I'm sorry for that, honey
I'm sorry for that, honey
