Mountain Rain lyrics

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 the bend With a West Virginian 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
