Lyrics
John Henry when he was a baby Sittin' on his pappy's knee Took a little hammer in his little right hand And said "Hammer be the death of me Lord God, hammer be the death of me!"

Beck will perform two shows at London's Royal Albert Hall in April, featuring symphonic arrangements with the BBC Concert Orchestra.
The track previews Peck's upcoming duets album, 'Stampede Vol. 2'.
The now-duo also have a few UK shows coming up.
The song was previously played at his intimate performance at Lafayette in London last September.
'We Love L.A.' features an impressive lineup of guests including Judd Apatow, Pink, Inara George, Beck, Grohl’s daughter Violet, Karen O, and Tenacious D.
Grohl shared via Foo Fighters' social media accounts that "it's a little known fact that our favorite Guero actually has Jewish roots".
The original featured on last year's 'The Story of Hugo' EP.
