John Henry (约翰·亨利) - Bruce Springsteen (布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀)[00:00:00]
One two three[00:00:21]
When John Henry was a little baby[00:00:23]
Sittin' on his daddy's knee[00:00:27]
He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel[00:00:31]
And cried "hammer's gonna be the death of me Lord Lord[00:00:36]
Hammer's gonna be the death of me"[00:00:40]
Now the captain he said to John Henry[00:00:45]
"I'm gonna bring that steam drill around[00:00:49]
I'm gonna bring that steam drill out on these tracks[00:00:53]
I'm gonna knock that steel on down God God[00:00:57]
I'm gonna knock that steel on down"[00:01:02]
John Henry told his captain [00:01:07]
"Lord a man ain't nothin' but a man[00:01:11]
But before I let this steam drill beat me down[00:01:15]
I'm gonna die with a hammer in my hand Lord Lord[00:01:20]
Die with a hammer in my hand"[00:01:24]
Ready Sue [00:01:27]
John Henry driving on the right side[00:01:51]
That steam drill driving on the left[00:01:55]
Says "'fore I'll let your steam drill beat me down[00:01:59]
I'm gonna hammer myself to death Lord Lord[00:02:04]
I'll hammer my fool self to death"[00:02:08]
Well captain said to John Henry[00:02:12]
"What is that storm I hear "[00:02:17]
John Henry said "That ain't no storm[00:02:21]
Captain that's just my hammer in the air Lord Lord[00:02:25]
That's just my hammer in the air"[00:02:30]
John Henry said to his shaker[00:02:34]
"Shaker why don't you sing [00:02:39]
'Cause I'm swigin' thirty pounds from my hips on down[00:02:43]
Yeah listen to my cold steel ring Lord Lord[00:02:47]
Listen to my cold steel ring"[00:02:52]
Come on [00:02:55]
I wanna hear that banjo now too [00:03:17]
I want it now [00:03:39]
Now John Henry he hammered in the mountains[00:03:41]
His hammer was striking fire[00:03:45]
But he worked so hard it broke his heart[00:03:50]
John Henry laid his hammer and died Lord Lord[00:03:54]
John Henry laid down his hammer and died[00:03:58]
Well now John Henry he had him a woman[00:04:03]
By the name of Polly Ann[00:04:07]
She walked out to those tracks picked up John Henry's hammer[00:04:11]
Polly drove steel like a man Lord Lord[00:04:16]
Polly drove that steel like a man[00:04:20]
Come on [00:04:23]
Well every every Monday morning[00:04:25]
When a bluebird he began to sing[00:04:29]
You could hear John Henry from a mile or more[00:04:33]
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring Lord Lord[00:04:38]
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring[00:04:42]
Set out again [00:04:45]
So you can hear John Henry's hammer ring Lord Lord[00:04:47]
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring[00:04:51]
Come on Woah[00:04:54]
