One of these days Im gonna lay this hammer down

I wont have to drag this weight around

When there aint no hunger and there aint no pain

I wont have to swing this thing

One of these days Im gonna lay this hammer down

One of these nights Im gonna sing a different tune

All night long beneath the silvery moon

When the war is over and the unions strong

Wont sing no more angry songs

One of these nights Im gonna sing a different tune

Someday when my struggles through

I wont have to strive

Until then all I can do

Is let my hammer fly

Oh, one of these days Im gonna lay this hammer down

Leave my burden restin on the ground

When the air dont choke ya and the oceans clean

And the kids dont die for gasoline

One of these days Im gonna lay this hammer down

John Henry was a mighty man

He worked his whole life long

When he made that hammer ring

He always sang this song

One of these days Im gonna lay this hammer down

And I wont have to drag this weight around

When there aint no hunger and there aint no pain

I wont have to swing this thing

One of these days Im gonna lay this hammer down

Yeah, one of these days Im gonna lay this hammer down
