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

Written by：Traditional[00:00:00]

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

Settin' on his mammy's knee[00:00:07]

Picked up an hammer in his little right hand[00:00:10]

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[00:00:30]

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

Well the captain said to John Henry[00:00:39]

I'm gonna bring my steam drill around[00:00:43]

Gonna bring my steam drill out on the job[00:00:46]

Gonna whup that steel on down down down[00:00:49]

Whup that steel on down[00:00:53]

John Henry said to the captain[00:00:56]

What he say[00:00:59]

You can bring your steam drill around[00:00:59]

You can bring your steam drill out on the job[00:01:03]

I'll beat your steam drill down down down[00:01:06]

Beat your steam drill down[00:01:10]

John Henry said to his shaker[00:01:14]

Shaker you had better pray[00:01:17]

If you miss your six feet of steel[00:01:21]

I'll be your buryin' day day day[00:01:24]

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

Now the shaker said to John Henry[00:01:33]

Yes sir[00:01:36]

Man ain't nothing but a man[00:01:37]

No he ain't[00:01:39]

But before I'd let that steam drill beat me down[00:01:40]

I believe him[00:01:43]

I'd die with an hammer in my hand hand hand[00:01:45]

I believe him[00:01:48]

I'd die with an hammer in my hand[00:01:48]

John Henry had a little woman[00:01:52]

Her name was Polly Anne[00:01:55]

John Henry took sick and was laid up in bed[00:01:58]

While Polly handled steel like a man man man[00:02:01]

Polly handled steel like a man[00:02:05]

They took John Henry to the graveyard[00:02:08]

Laid him down in the sand[00:02:11]

Every locomotive comin' a-rolling by[00:02:15]

Hollered there lies a steel-drivin' man man man[00:02:18]

There lies a steel-drivin' man[00:02:21]

There lies a steel-drivin' man man man[00:02:24]

There lies a steel-drivin' man[00:02:28]
