Come  in, come in  John Henry
 Come in  out  of the cold
 Cause that Old  North Wind  is calling
 But it ain't time  for you  to go
 2.
 Sit  down Miss Pollyanna
 Please wait  for my  return
 Cause that Old  North Wind  is calling
 But my love  for you  still burns
 3.
 Don't  go, don't go  John Henry
 Please lay  down your hammer  today
 Cause that Old  North Wind  is calling
 And she'll put  you  in the grave
 4.
Don't  worry Pollyanna
 You know  that I  can't stay home
 But if that Old  North Wind  is calling
 I will fight  her like a hammer  to a stone
 5.
 Come  quick Miss Pollyanna
 John Henry  was taken  today
 That Old  North Wind  came calling  him in
 He was still fighting  as he faded  away
 He was still fighting  as he faded  away
