John Henry with his steel driving hammer
Ol’ Bunyan and his Ox
Johnny B. Goode on the railroad track
rollin’ as the engines rock
Old man Sullivan only got
two old pair of sock
and the ginseng he slings from his knapsack
singing as he walk
Casey Jones he met his match
on the Misissippi line
mean old Stagger Lee well he
shot down Mr. Billy de Lyon
poor Louis Collins mother
can’t keep from crying
but all the ladies dressed in red
just to see if Louis was dying
you know he beat that steam drill down
he moved out to the country
now he’s Memphis bound
now the only time he come around is
when he hear that sound
Maggie she was my little queen
each night when she dance
you’d give your gold watch and chain
you’d gamble your last chance
Della Mae, asleep I lay
robbed me my new pants
left me in chains, wailing with
big spike hammer in my hand
you know he beat that steam drill down
he moved out to the country
now he’s Memphis bound
now the only time he come around is
when he hear that sound
Johnny beat that steamdrill
Pual he cut the log
Mr. Jones was poor and broke
Lil Maggie was the prettiest you saw
ain’t nothing but rusty strings and this
battered old guitar
and the tale of Stagger Lee, singing
comin’ thru the speaker box
you know he beat that steam drill down
he moved out to the country
now he’s Memphis bound
now the only time he come around is
when he hear that sound

Genre-blending jammers Lost Ox are based out of Portland, OR. The band, known for combining elements of funk, psychedelia, jazz, Americana, and progressive rock, was formed in 2017. Rooted both in the jamband resurgence of the 1990s and the original 1960s psychedelic rock revolution, their style encompasses many familiar jam tropes, executed and reimagined with an inspired, dauntless precision. ... more
