1.
C5              F5       C5
Come in, come in John Henry
     F5   C5          A5
Come in out of the cold
           F5          C5       A5       F5
Cause that Old North Wind is calling
              C5        F5       C5
But it ain't time for you to go


C5  F5  C5


2. 
 C5             F5     C5
Sit down Miss Pollyanna
        F5       C5       A5
Please wait for my return
            F5         C5        A5     F5
Cause that Old North Wind is calling
        C5        F5           C5
But my love for you still burns

3.
 C5              F5       C5
Don't go, don't go John Henry
        F5              C5      A5
Please lay down your hammer today
            F5         C5        A5     F5
Cause that Old North Wind is calling
            C5     F5         C5
And she'll put you in the grave

4. 
C5           F5     C5
Don't worry Pollyanna
     F5        C5             A5
You know that I can't stay home
             F5         C5       A5     F5
But if that Old North Wind is calling
        C5               F5            C5
I will fight her like a hammer to a stone

5. 
 C5              F5       C5
Come quick Miss Pollyanna
     F5          C5      A5
John Henry was taken today
     F5          C5          A5         F5
That Old North Wind came calling him in
               C5              F5     C5
He was still fighting as he faded away
               C5              F5     C5
He was still fighting as he faded away
