Poor John Henry could never prove his worth I sure
hope he makes it in the end

So frustrated always underrated I sure hope he makes it in the end

He wakes up each day always empty handed I sure hope he makes it in the end

Do you ever think of me 'cause I'll be thinking of
you and you'll be thinking of...

Do you ever think of me 'cause I'll be thinking of
you and you'll be thinking of...

Do you ever think of me 'cause I'll be thinking of
you and you'll be thinking of...yourself

Poor Mary Ellen ended up with John I sure hope she makes it in the end

She works for nothing and nothing works for her I sure
hope she makes it in the end

John and Mary like so many I sure hope they make it in the end

Do you ever think of me 'cause I'll be thinking of
you and you'll be thinking of...

Do you ever think of me 'cause I'll be thinking of
you and you'll be thinking of...

Do you ever think of me 'cause I'll be thinking of
you and you'll be thinking of...yourself
