John Henry - Hank Thompson[00:00:00]
John Henry was just a little bitty boy[00:00:19]
No bigger than the palm of your hand[00:00:23]
His Mammy looked down at[00:00:27]
Henry and say[00:00:29]
Johnny you're gonna be a steal drivin' man Lord Lord[00:00:30]
Johnny you're gonna be a steal drivin' man[00:00:34]
John Henry he said to his[00:00:38]
Captain captain I wanna hear you sing[00:00:40]
I'll swing forty nine pounds from my hips on down[00:00:45]
Like to hear that cold steel ring Lord Lord[00:00:49]
Like to hear that cold steel ring[00:00:53]
John Henry had a little[00:01:15]
Woman and her name was Polly Ann[00:01:17]
John Henry he got sick and he had to go to bed[00:01:22]
But Polly drove steel like a man Lord Lord[00:01:26]
Polly drove the steel like a man[00:01:30]
John Henry went to the[00:01:34]
Tunnel to drive steam hammer by his side[00:01:36]
Well he beat that drill till the end of the tunnel[00:01:41]
Laid down his hammer and he cried[00:01:45]
Lord Lord laid down his hammer and he cried[00:01:47]
John Henry drove steel on[00:02:11]
That Mountain till his hammer caught on fire[00:02:13]
And the last words we heard John Henry say[00:02:18]
Cool drink of water before I die[00:02:22]
Lord Lord cool drink of water before I die[00:02:24]
Well they took John Henry to the[00:02:29]
Graveyard stuck him six feet under the sand[00:02:31]
Everytime the freight train that go puffin' by[00:02:36]
They say there lies a steel drivin'[00:02:40]
Man Lord Lord yonder lies the steel drivin' man[00:02:42]
