John |
John Henry told his little woman |
Honey cook my supper soon |
I’ve got ninety miles of track |
I’m gonna line 'em by the light of the moon |
I’m gonna line 'em by the light of the moon |
Spoken: |
John Henry was a steel driver |
He was the best in the land |
And he’d die with his hammer in his hand |
I’ll tell you all about him now |
John Henry told his captain |
You know a man ain’t nothin' but a man |
But before I let your steam drill beat me down |
I’m gonna die with my hammer in my hand |
I’m gonna die with my hammer in my hand |
John Henry told to his captain |
You know a man ain’t nothin' but a man |
But before I let your steam drill beat me down |
I’m gonna die with my hammer in my hand |
I’m gonna die with my hammer in my hand |
John Henry had another woman |
And the dress that she wore was red |
Oh she studies the track lord she never looked back |
I’m going where John Henry lies dead |
I’m going where John Henry lies dead |
John Henry went down to Washington |
… … them in the sand |
And the people from the East and people from the west |
Ain’t seen such a steel driving man |
Ain’t seen such a steel driving man |
But if some say he’s from England |
And some say he’s from France |
No he’s nothing but a Louisiana man |
A leader of the steel driving gang |
A leader of the steel driving gang |
