John Henry (约翰·亨利) - Odetta (欧蒂塔)[00:00:00]

John Henry was a little baby[00:00:04]

Sitting on his momma's knee[00:00:09]

Said The Big Bend Tunnel on the C O Road[00:00:13]

Is gonna be the death of me[00:00:18]

Lord Is gonna[00:00:21]

Be the death of me[00:00:23]

When John Henry was a little baby[00:00:27]

Sitting on his poppa's knee[00:00:32]

He took a hammer a little piece of steel[00:00:36]

Said Hammer's gonna be the death of me[00:00:40]

Lord[00:00:43]

Lord[00:00:44]

Hammer's gonna be the death of me[00:00:45]

John Henry had a little woman[00:00:48]

Her name was Mary Magdalene [00:00:53]

Every day she would sing for John Henry[00:00:57]

Just to hear his hammer when it swing[00:01:01]

Lord[00:01:04]

Just to hear his hammer when it swing[00:01:05]

And now the captain he says to John Henry[00:01:09]

I'm gonna bring that steam drill round[00:01:13]

I'm gonna bring that steam[00:01:17]

Drill out on the job[00:01:20]

I'm gonna whop that steel on down[00:01:21]

Lord Lord[00:01:24]

I'm gonna whop that steel on down[00:01:25]

John Henry said to his captain [00:01:29]

I know a man ain't nothing but a man [00:01:33]

But before[00:01:37]

I'll let your steam drill beat me down[00:01:38]

I'll die with my hammer in my hand[00:01:41]

Lord[00:01:43]

I'll die with my hammer in my hand [00:01:45]

John Henry said to his shaker[00:01:48]

Shaker why don't you sing[00:01:51]

And now i'm throwing forty pounds[00:01:55]

From my hip on down[00:01:57]

Listen to the cold steel ring[00:01:58]

Lawdy[00:02:01]

Lawdy[00:02:02]

Listen to the cold steel ring[00:02:02]

John Henry said to his captain[00:02:05]

Looky yonder what i see[00:02:09]

Steam drill broke your hole done choke[00:02:13]

You can't drive steel like me[00:02:16]

Lord[00:02:18]

You can't drive steel like me[00:02:20]

John Henry a working on the mountain[00:02:23]

Hammer was a striking fire[00:02:26]

But he worked so hard it broke his poor heart[00:02:30]

He laid down his hammer and he died[00:02:34]

Lawdy[00:02:36]

He lad down his hammer and he died[00:02:37]

Now momma's gonna shoe my pretty little feet[00:02:40]

Poppy gonna glove my hand[00:02:44]

Sister gonna kiss my red ruby lips[00:02:48]

I don't need no man[00:02:51]

Lawdy[00:02:53]

Lawdy[00:02:54]

My steel driving man[00:02:55]

Lawdy[00:02:58]

Lawdy[00:02:58]

My steel driving man[00:02:59]
