John Henry |
| John Henry had a little woman |
| And the dress she wore was red |
| She walked down the track |
| She never looked back |
| I’m going where John Henry fell dead (x2) |
| John Henry had another woman |
| And her name was Polly Anne |
| John Henry was taken sick |
| And he had to go to bed |
| Polly Anne drove steel like a man (x2) |
| John Henry told his little woman |
| Honey fix my supper soon |
| I got ninety-nine miles |
| Of track I wanna line back |
| I’m gonna line 'em by the light of the moon (x2) |
| John Henry said to his captain |
| You know a man ain’t nothin' but a man |
| I’m bettin' right now you won’t beat me down |
| I’m gonna die with my hammer in my hand (x2) |
| John Henry hammered in the mountain |
| Until his hammer caught on fire |
| The last word’s I heard that the poor boy said |
| Give me a cool drink of water before I die (x6) |
