John Henry |
| John henry when he was a baby |
| Sitting on his papas knee |
| Well he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel |
| Said a hammers gonna be the death of me |
| Lord |
| Hammer gonna be the death of me |
| When the captain said to john henry |
| Gonna bring that steam drill around |
| Gonna bring that steam drill out on this job |
| And ill whop that steel on down lord |
| Gonna whop that steel on down. |
| Whop that steel on down lord lord |
| Whop that steel on down. |
| John henry said to the captain |
| You can bring that steam drill around. |
| You can bring that steam drill out on this job |
| And ill beat that steam drill down lord. |
| Beat that steam drill down |
| John henry had a little woman |
| Well her name it was polly anne |
| John henry took sick and had to go to bed. |
| Polly drove steel like a man lord |
| Polly drove steel like a man. |
| John henry hammered in the mountain |
| Till the head of his hammer caught fire. |
| Well he worked so hard that he broke his poor heart |
| And he laid down his hammer and he died lord lord |
| Laid down his hammer and he died. |
| Well every monday morning |
| When the bluebirds begin to sing |
| You can hear john henry from half a mile |
| You can hear john henrys hammer ring lord |
| Hear john henrys hammer ring |
