The Thinking Man, John Henry (Live) - The Brothers Four[00:00:01]
Written by:Camp/Gibson[00:00:03]
When John henry was a little baby[00:00:08]
He was sent on his waresley[00:00:12]
While he picked up a sabreland book of mathematics[00:00:16]
Saying thinking's gonna be the job for me[00:00:20]
Saying thinking's gonna be the job for me[00:00:23]
Grammar's gonna be the death of me and lower lower[00:01:03]
Grammar's gonna be the death of me[00:01:08]
He didn't do too well in greek either[00:01:11]
Homer's gonna be the death of me and lower lower[00:01:13]
Homer's gonna be the death of me[00:01:17]
Automation automation automation[00:02:22]
Now the expert said to John henry[00:02:25]
I'm gonna bring me a computer out[00:02:29]
I'm gonna bring me a computer and electronic brains[00:02:32]
Cyber names gonna put the answer down[00:02:36]
Computers help to keep the payroll now[00:02:40]
Now the man who invented the computer[00:02:44]
Was from a place called m i t[00:02:47]
Well he punched out cards and tapes by the yards[00:02:51]
On the mirror my god to think[00:02:55]
On the mirror my god to think[00:02:58]
Now John henry said to be inverter[00:03:06]
All your tubes don't mean are there[00:03:10]
All your wires and your circuits[00:03:13]
They are just a modern porquets[00:03:15]
Never ever gonna be the thinking man[00:03:17]
They are never gonna be the thinking man[00:03:21]
John henry's started in a thinking[00:03:40]
'Til his head goes cherry red[00:03:43]
There was smoke from his ears[00:03:46]
And his eyes poured tears[00:03:48]
And he thunk 'til his brain dropped dead[00:03:50]
Think think thunk thunk 'til his brain dropped dead[00:03:52]
They took John henry to the bathhouse[00:04:01]
But still his legend grows[00:04:08]
Now please don't get us wrong[00:04:17]
There's a moral to this song[00:04:23]
Don't ever doubt the thinking power of men[00:04:29]
Don't ever sell your stock in I B M[00:04:37]
