John Henry - Leadbelly[00:00:00]
John Henry was a new-born baby,[00:00:56]
Sittin' down on his mama's knee[00:01:00]
Say, "That Big Bend Tunnel on that C & O Road,[00:01:04]
It's gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord[00:01:08]
It's gonna be the death of me.[00:01:12]
It's gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord[00:01:15]
It's gonna be the death of me."[00:01:19]
John Henry had two women,[00:01:23]
One was named Mary Magdalene[00:01:27]
He would go out on the job and she would sing,[00:01:31]
"Hear John Henry's hammer ring, Lord, Lord,[00:01:35]
Hear John Henry's hammer ring.[00:01:38]
Hear John Henry's hammer ring, Lord, Lord,[00:01:42]
Hear John Henry's hammer ring."[00:01:45]
John Henry had another little woman,[00:01:49]
Her name was sweet Polly Ann[00:01:53]
John Henry taken sick, boy,[00:01:56]
And he had to go to bed[00:01:58]
Polly Ann drove steel just like a man, Lord, Lord[00:02:01]
Polly Ann drove steel like a man[00:02:04]
Polly Ann drove steel just like a man, Lord Lord[00:02:08]
Polly Ann drove steel like a man[00:02:11]
"Baby, who's gonna shoe your little feet,[00:02:19]
Tell me, who's gonna glove your hand?[00:02:23]
Tell me, who's gonna kiss your sweet lips now[00:02:26]
Tell me, who's gonna be your man, Lord, Lord[00:02:30]
Tell me, who's gonna be your man.[00:02:33]
Tell me, who's gonna be your man, Lord, Lord[00:02:37]
Tell me, who's gonna be your man?"[00:02:40]
She told him,[00:02:43]
"My papa's gonna shoe my little feet,[00:02:45]
My mama's gonna glove my hand[00:02:48]
My sister's gonna kiss my sweet little lips, now[00:02:52]
You know I don't need no man, Lord, Lord[00:02:56]
You know I don't need no man.[00:02:59]
You know I don't need no man, Lord, Lord[00:03:03]
You know I don't need no man."[00:03:06]
Tell him now[00:03:09]
Then they taken John Henry to the White House[00:03:34]
They buried him in the sand[00:03:38]
And every locomotive come a-rollin' by, sayin',[00:03:42]
"There lies that steel-drivin' man, Lord, Lord[00:03:45]
There lies that steel-drivin' man.[00:03:49]
There lies that steel-drivin' man, Lord, Lord[00:03:52]
There lies that steel-drivin' man."[00:03:55]
