John Henry (约翰·亨利) - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

John Henry when he was a baby[00:00:05]

Settin' on his mammy's knee[00:00:09]

Picked up an hammer in his little right hand[00:00:12]

Said "Hammer be the death of me me me [00:00:15]

Hammer be the death of me "[00:00:19]

Some say he's born in Texas[00:00:23]

Some say he's born up in Maine[00:00:27]

I just say he was a Louisiana man[00:00:30]

Leader of a steel-driving chain gang[00:00:34]

Leader on a steel-driving gang[00:00:37]

"Well" the captain said to John Henry[00:00:43]

"I'm gonna bring my steam drill around[00:00:47]

You can bring your steam drill around[00:00:50]

Gonna whup that steel on down down down[00:00:54]

Whup that steel on down "[00:00:58]

John Henry said to the captain (what he say )[00:01:01]

You can bring your steam drill around[00:01:04]

You can bring your steam drill out on the job[00:01:08]

I'll beat your steam drill down down down[00:01:11]

Beat your steam drill down "[00:01:15]

John Henry said to his Shaker[00:01:19]

"Shaker you had better pray[00:01:23]

If you miss your six feet of steel[00:01:26]

It'll be your buryin' day day day[00:01:29]

It'll be your buryin' day "[00:01:33]

Now the Shaker said to John Henry[00:01:40]

"Man ain't nothing but a man[00:01:44]

But before I'd let that steam drill beat me down[00:01:47]

I'd die with an hammer in my hand hand hand[00:01:50]

I'd die with an hammer in my hand "[00:01:53]

John Henry had a little woman[00:01:59]

Her name was Polly Anne[00:02:02]

John Henry took sick and was laid up in bed[00:02:06]

While Polly handled steel like a man man man[00:02:09]

Polly handled steel like a man [00:02:13]

They took John Henry to the graveyard[00:02:16]

Laid him down in the sand[00:02:20]

Every locomotive comin' a-rolling by[00:02:23]

Hollered "there lies a steel-drivin' man man man[00:02:26]

Hollered here lies a steel-drivin' man "[00:02:30]

Hollered there lies a steel-drivin' man man man[00:02:34]

Hollered there lies a steel-drivin' man "[00:02:37]
