John Henry Lyrics
Well John Henry was a little baby
Sittin' on his daddy's knee
He
picked up a hammer and
a little piece of steel
And cried, "Hammer's
gonna
be death of me, Lord, Lord
Hammer's gonna be the death of
me"
Now the captain he
said to John Henry
"I'm gonna
bring that
steam drill around
I'm gonna bring that
steam
drill out on these tracks
I'm gonna knock that
steel on down, God,
God
I'm gonna knock that
steel on down"
John Henry
told his captain
"Lord a man ain't noth' but a man
But before I let
that steam drill
beat me down
I'm gonna die with a hammer
in
my hand, Lord, Lord
I'll die with a hammer in my hand"
John
Henry driving
on the right side
That steam drill driving
on
the left
Says, "Fore I let your
steam drill beat me down
I'm
gonna hammer
myself to death, Lord, Lord,
I'll hammer my fool self
to death"
Well captain said to John Henry
"What is that
storm I hear?"
John Henry said, "That
ain't no storm captain
That's just my hammer
in the air, Lord, Lord
That's just my
hammer in the air"
John Henry said to his shaker
"Shaker,
why don't you sing?
Cause I'm swingin' thirty pounds
from my hips
on down
Yeah, listen to my cold steel
ring, Lord Lord
Listen to my cold steel ring"
John Henry he hammered
in
the mountains
His hammer was striking fire
But he worked so
hard;
it broke his heart
John Henry laid down his hammer
and
died, Lord, Lord
John Henry laid down his hammer and died
Well, now John Henry
he had him a woman
By the name of
Polly Ann
She walked out to those tracks
Picked up John Henry's
hammer
Polly drove steel like a man, Lord, Lord
Polly drove that
steel like a man
Well every, every Monday morning
When a
blue bird he began to sing
You could hear John Henry
from a mile or
more
You could hear John Henry's hammer
ring, Lord, Lord
You
can hear John Henry's hammer ring
I say, You can John Henry's
hammer ring, Lord, Lord
You can John Henry's
hammer ring
