Greebly Mork, aka Tevil X Bloom, put this lovely piece of turn of the 19th century music together in July 2025.
I recorded my vocals and did the master on the 8th October.

Spike Driver Blues

Take this hammer, carry it to the captain,
tell him I’m gone... tell him I’m gone.
Take this hammer, carry It to the captain,
tell him I’m gone... tell him I’m gone.
This is the hammer that killed John Henry, 
It won’t kill me… it won’t kill me.
This is the hammer that killed John Henry, 
It won’t kill me… it won’t kill me.


It’s a long way from east Colorado
to my home… to my home
It’s a long way from east Colorado
to my home… to my home
John Henry left his hammer,
time to go… time to go
John Henry left his hammer
all covered in red… all over in red


John Henry was a steel drivin’ boy
but he went down… he went down
John Henry was a steel drivin’ boy.
He went down… he went down.
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain,
tell him I’m gone... tell him I’m gone.
Take this hammer and carry it to the captain,
tell him I’m gone... tell him I’m gone.

I started out as a poet, and that's what I am, essentially.
