John Henry - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

John Henry when he was a baby[00:00:03]

Settin' on his mammy's knee[00:00:06]

Picked up an hammer in[00:00:10]

His little right hand[00:00:11]

Said "Hammer be the death of me me me [00:00:13]

Hammer be the death of me "[00:00:17]

Some say he's born in Texas[00:00:20]

Some say he's born up in Maine[00:00:24]

I just say he was a Louisiana man[00:00:27]

Leader of a steel-driving chain gang[00:00:31]

Leader on a steel-driving gang[00:00:34]

"Well" the captain said to John Henry[00:00:40]

"I'm gonna bring my steam drill around[00:00:44]

Leader on a steel-driving gang[00:00:47]

Gonna whup that steel on down down down[00:00:51]

Whup that steel on down "[00:00:54]

John Henry said to the captain[00:00:58]

(what he say )[00:01:01]

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

Gonna bring my steam drill out on the job[00:01:05]

I'll beat your steam drill down down down[00:01:08]

Beat your steam drill down "[00:01:12]

John Henry said to his Shaker[00:01:16]

"Shaker you had better pray[00:01:20]

If you miss your six feet of steel[00:01:23]

It'll be your buryin' day day day[00:01:27]

It'll be your buryin' day "[00:01:30]

Now the Shaker said to John Henry[00:01:37]

"Man ain't nothing but a man[00:01:41]

But before I'd let that[00:01:44]

Steam drill beat me down[00:01:46]

I'd die with an hammer[00:01:49]

In my hand hand hand[00:01:50]

I'd die with an hammer in my hand "[00:01:51]

John Henry had a little woman[00:01:56]

Her name was Polly Anne[00:01:59]

John Henry took sick and was laid up in bed[00:02:03]

While Polly handled steel like a man man man[00:02:07]

Polly handled steel like a man [00:02:10]

They took John Henry to the graveyard[00:02:13]

Laid him down in the sand[00:02:17]

Every locomotive comin' a-rolling by by by[00:02:20]

Hollered "there lies a[00:02:24]

Steel-drivin' man man man[00:02:25]

There lies a steel-drivin' man "[00:02:27]

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

There lies a steel-drivin' man "[00:02:34]
