When John Henry was a little bitty boy[00:00:18]
He picked up a hammer in his hand[00:00:25]
Looked up at his mama and smilingly said[00:00:29]
I want to be a steel drivin' man[00:00:32]
Lord Lord I want to be a steel drivin' man[00:00:34]
Soon John Henry grew up to be a man[00:00:37]
And took a hammer in his hand[00:00:48]
He could drive steel with either hand[00:00:53]
He was a darn good steel drivin' man[00:00:59]
Lord Lord he was a darn good steel drivin' man[00:01:03]
Now John Henry drove an awful lot of steel[00:01:05]
He was the best driver in the land[00:01:08]
When he'd start in to drivin' down that steel[00:01:11]
The sparks would fly to beat the band[00:01:15]
Lord Lord the sparks would fly to beat the band[00:01:19]
One day they brought a steam driver around[00:01:24]
On John Henry's face was a smile[00:01:49]
Just give me a twelve pound hammer Mister Boss[00:01:54]
And I'll beat that driver by a mile[00:01:56]
Lord Lord I'll beat that driver by a mile[00:01:59]
Old John Henry started pounding down the steel[00:02:02]
The steam drill was there by his side[00:02:04]
They both drove steel for ten hours straight[00:02:06]
Then John Henry fell and he died[00:02:10]
Lord Lord then John Henry fell[00:02:20]
