[Verse]
I got these hands of leather in the lumber mills and mines.
All along those skid rows back up in the pines.
Itâs hard to make a dollar whatever it is you do.
Iâve been around and in all these towns
And I never met a one like you.
Pretty lady
Wonât you stay and talk awhile
Lady
Please stay and talk awhile
The night is falling and Iâm falling for your smile
And Iâve never met a one like you

[Verse]
Swing you a nine pound hammer under the burning sun.
All the smacks I ever drew there never was an easy one.
Working with John Henry youâll see what a man can do.
Iâve been around and in all these towns
And I never met a one like you.
Pretty lady
Wonât you stay and talk awhile
Lady
Please stay and talk awhile
The night is falling and Iâm falling for your smile
And Iâve never met a one like you

[Verse]
When Iâm tired of rocks and gravel or hauling grain and seed.
Come payday I might come in to town for what I need.
Drink a beer or whiskey, I might get lonely too.
Iâve been around and in all these towns
And I never met a one like you.
Pretty lady
Wonât you stay and talk awhile
Lady
Please stay and talk awhile
The night is falling and Iâm falling for your smile
And Iâve never met a one like you
The night is falling and Iâm falling for your smile
And Iâve never met a one like you
