I_watched_the_rain;_it_settled_in._We_disappeared_for_days_again.

Most_of_us_were_staying_in,_lazy_like_the_sky.

We_knew_about_that_big_machine_that_ran_on_human_hope_and_steam. 

Bets_on_John_were_far_between_and_mostly_on_the_side. 

We_heard_he_put_up_quite_a_fight._His_hands_and_feet_turned_snowy_white. 

That_hammer_rang_out_through_the_night_the_day_John_Henry_died.

That_new_machine_was_cheap_as_hell_and_only_John_would_work_as_well,

Youll_need_some_sleep_to_pass_the_test,_so_get_some_on_the_flight 

and_say_your_prayers_John_Henry_Ford_cause_we_dont_need_your_work_no_more. 

You_should_have_known_the_final_score_the_day_John_Henry_died.
