Jackhammer John was a jackhammer man, Born with a jackhammer in his hand. Lord, Lord And he had them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.I built your roads and buildings too, And I'm gonna build a damn or two. Lord, Lord, well I had them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.I was borned in Portland town, Built every port from Alasky down; Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.Built your bridges, dug your mines, Been in jail a thousand times. Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.Jackhammer, jackhammer, where ya been? Been out a-chasin' them gals again; Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.Jackhammer man from a jackhammer town, I can hammer till the sun goes down, Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.I hammered on the boulder, hammered on the butte, Columbia River on a five-mile chute; Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.Workin' on the Bonneville, hammered all night A-tryin' to bring the people some electric light, Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.I hammered on Bonneville, Coulee too, Always broke when my job was through, Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.I hammered on the river from sun to sun, Fifteen million salmon run; Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.I hammered in the rain, I hammered in the dust, I hammered in the best and I hammered in the worst; Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.I got a jackhammer gal just as sweet as pie, And I'm a-gonna hammer till the day I die, Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues. I got them jackhammer blues.
