John Henry - Harry Belafonte[00:00:00]

John Henry he could hammer,[00:00:27]

He could whistle, he could sing[00:00:30]

He went to the mountain early in the mornin'[00:00:33]

Just to hear his hammer ring, Lord, Lord[00:00:36]

Just to hear his hammer ring.[00:00:39]

Just to hear his hammer ring, Lord, Lord[00:00:41]

Just to hear his hammer ring.[00:00:43]

When John Henry was a little baby,[00:00:46]

Sittin' on his daddy's knee[00:00:49]

He picked up a hammer, a little piece of steel,[00:00:52]

Said hammer be the death of me, Lord, Lord[00:00:55]

Said hammer be the death of me[00:00:57]

Said hammer be the death of me, Lord, Lord[00:01:00]

Said hammer be the death of me[00:01:03]

When John Henry's fam'ly needed money,[00:01:05]

Said he didn't have but a dime[00:01:08]

If you wait 'til the red sun goes down[00:01:11]

I'll get it from the man in the mine, Lord, Lord[00:01:13]

I'll get it from the man in the mine[00:01:17]

I'll get it from the man in the mine, Lord, Lord[00:01:19]

I'll get it from the man in the mine[00:01:21]

Well John Henry went to the Captain[00:01:24]

Said the captain, what can you do[00:01:27]

I can hoist a jack, I can lay a track[00:01:30]

I can pick and shovel too, Lord, Lord[00:01:32]

I can pick and shovel too[00:01:35]

I can pick and shovel too, Lord, Lord[00:01:38]

I can pick and shovel too[00:01:40]

Well John Henry said to the captain,[00:01:43]

Oh a man ain't nothin' but a man[00:01:46]

'Fore I'd let your steam drill beat me down,[00:01:49]

I'd die with my hammer in my hand, Lord, Lord Die with my hammer in my hand[00:01:52]

I'd die with my hammer in my hand, Lord, Lord Die with my hammer in my hand[00:01:57]

Well the captain said to John Henry,[00:02:02]

Gonna bring me a steam drill 'round[00:02:05]

Gonna bring me a steam drill out on the job[00:02:08]

Gonna whup that steel on down, Lord, Lord Whup that steel on down[00:02:11]

Gonna whup that steel on down, Lord, Lord Whup that steel on down[00:02:16]

Shaker why don't you sing,[00:02:25]

I'm throwin' twelve pounds from my hips on down,[00:02:27]

Just listen to the cold steel ring, lord lord Just listen to the cold steel ring,[00:02:30]

Just listen to the cold steel ring, lord lord Just listen to the cold steel ring,[00:02:35]

The man that invented the steamdrill,[00:02:40]

Thought he was mighty fine,[00:02:44]

John Henry made his fifteen feet,[00:02:46]

The steamdrill only made nine, lord lord The steamdrill only made nine,[00:02:49]

The steamdrill only made nine, lord lord The steamdrill only made nine,[00:02:54]

Well the Captain says to John Henry[00:02:59]

I believe this mountains cavin' in[00:03:02]

John Henry said to the Captain,[00:03:05]

'Tain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind, lord lord 'Tain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind,[00:03:07]

'Tain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind, lord lord 'Tain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind,[00:03:13]

Well John Henry said to the captain,[00:03:19]

Looka yonder what I see,[00:03:21]

Hole done choke, drill done broke,[00:03:25]

And you can't drive steel like me, Lord, Lord[00:03:27]

Can't drive steel like me[00:03:30]

Oh no, you can't drive steel like me, no no[00:03:32]

Can't drive steel like me[00:03:35]

Well John Henry drove into the mountain,[00:03:38]

His hammer was strikin' fire[00:03:41]

He drove so hard he broke his poor heart[00:03:43]

And he laid down his hammer and he died, Lord, Lord And he laid down his hammer and he died,[00:03:46]

And he laid down his hammer and he died, Lord, Lord And he laid down his hammer and he died,[00:03:52]

Well John Henry had a little woman,[00:03:57]

And her name was Polly Ann[00:04:00]

She walked down the tract[00:04:03]

There they looked back[00:04:04]

Polly ann drove steel like a man, Lord, Lord polly ann drove steel like a man,[00:04:05]

Polly ann drove steel like a man, Lord, Lord polly ann drove steel like a man,[00:04:11]

Oh they took John Henry to the White House[00:04:16]

And they buried him in the sand[00:04:19]

Every locomotive come roarin' by[00:04:22]

Says there lies a steel drivin' man, Lord, Lord there lies a steel drivin' man,[00:04:24]

Says there lies a steel drivin' man, Lord, Lord there lies a steel drivin' man,[00:04:30]

Says there lies a steel drivin' man, Lord, Lord there lies a steel drivin' man,[00:04:35]
