John Henry (约翰·亨利) (Live) - Odetta (欧蒂塔)/Larry Mohr[00:00:00]

John Henry was a little baby[00:00:05]

Sitting on his momma's knee[00:00:10]

Said The Big Bend Tunnel on the C O Road[00:00:14]

Is gonna be the death of me[00:00:19]

Lord Is gonna[00:00:22]

Be the death of me[00:00:24]

When John Henry was a little baby[00:00:28]

Sitting on his poppa's knee[00:00:33]

He took a hammer a little piece of steel[00:00:37]

Said Hammer's gonna be the death of me[00:00:41]

Lord[00:00:44]

Lord[00:00:44]

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

John Henry had a little woman[00:00:49]

Her name was Mary Magdalene [00:00:54]

Every day she would sing for John Henry[00:00:58]

Just to hear his hammer when it swing[00:01:02]

Lord[00:01:05]

Just to hear his hammer when it swing[00:01:06]

And now the captain he says to John Henry[00:01:10]

I'm gonna bring that steam drill round[00:01:14]

I'm gonna bring that steam[00:01:18]

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

I'm gonna whop that steel on down[00:01:23]

Lord Lord[00:01:26]

I'm gonna whop that steel on down[00:01:27]

John Henry said to his captain [00:01:30]

I know a man ain't nothing but a man [00:01:34]

But before[00:01:37]

I'll let your steam drill beat me down[00:01:39]

I'll die with my hammer in my hand[00:01:42]

Lord[00:01:44]

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[00:01:52]

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

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

Listen to the cold steel ring[00:01:59]

Lawdy[00:02:01]

Lawdy[00:02:02]

Listen to the cold steel ring[00:02:03]

John Henry said to his captain[00:02:06]

Looky yonder what I see[00:02:10]

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

You can't drive steel like me[00:02:17]

Lord[00:02:19]

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[00:02:27]

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[00:02:37]

He lad down his hammer and he died[00:02:38]

Now momma's gonna shoe my pretty little feet[00:02:41]

Poppy gonna glove my hand[00:02:45]

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

I don't need no man[00:02:52]

Lawdy[00:02:54]

Lawdy[00:02:54]

My steel driving man[00:02:55]

Lawdy[00:02:58]

Lawdy[00:02:59]

My steel driving man[00:03:00]
