John Henry (Live) - Harry Belafonte[00:00:00]

John Henry he could hammer[00:00:27]

He could whistle he could sing[00:00:30]

He went to the mountain early in the mornin'[00:00:32]

Just to hear his hammer ring Lord Lord[00:00:35]

Just to hear his hammer ring[00:00:38]

Just to hear his hammer ring Lord Lord[00:00:40]

Just to hear his hammer ring[00:00:43]

When John Henry was a little baby[00:00:46]

Sittin' on his daddy's knee[00:00:49]

He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel[00:00:51]

Said hammer be the death of me Lord Lord[00:00:54]

Said hammer be the death of me[00:00:57]

Said hammer be the death of me Lord Lord[00:00:59]

Said hammer be the death of me[00:01:02]

When John Henry's fam'ly needed money[00:01:05]

Said he didn't have but a dime[00:01:08]

If you wait 'til the red sun goes down[00:01:10]

I'll get it from the man in the mine Lord Lord[00:01:13]

I'll get it from the man in the mine[00:01:16]

I'll get it from the man in the mine Lord Lord[00:01:18]

I'll get it from the man in the mine[00:01:21]

Well the Captain said to John Henry[00:01:23]

John Henry what can you do[00:01:26]

I can hoist a jack I can lay a track[00:01:29]

I can pick and shovel too Lord Lord[00:01:32]

I can pick and shovel too[00:01:35]

I can pick and shovel too Lord Lord[00:01:37]

I can pick and shovel too[00:01:40]

Well John Henry said to the captain[00:01:43]

Oh a man ain't nothin' but a man[00:01:45]

But I'd let your steam drill beat me down[00:01:48]

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

Die with my hammer in my hand[00:01:54]

Yes I'd die with my hammer in my hand Lord Lord[00:01:56]

Die with my hammer in my hand[00:01:59]

Well the captain said to John Henry[00:02:02]

I wanna bring me a steam drill 'round[00:02:04]

Gonna bring me a steam drill out on the job[00:02:07]

Gonna whup that steel on down Lord Lord[00:02:10]

Gonna whup that steel on down[00:02:13]

I gonna whup that steel on down Lord Lord[00:02:15]

Gonna whup that steel on down[00:02:18]

Well John Henry said to his Shaker[00:02:21]

Shaker why don't you sing[00:02:24]

I'm throwin' fifteen pounds from my hips on down[00:02:26]

Listen to the cold steel ring Lord Lord[00:02:29]

Just listen to the cold steel ring[00:02:32]

Listen to the cold steel ring Lord Lord[00:02:35]

Won't you listen to the cold steel ring[00:02:37]

Well the man that invented the steamdrill[00:02:40]

Thought he was mighty fine[00:02:43]

John Henry made his fifteen feet[00:02:45]

The steamdrill only made nine lord lord[00:02:48]

The steamdrill only made nine[00:02:51]

The steamdrill only made nine lord lord[00:02:54]

The steamdrill only made nine[00:02:56]

Well the Captain says to John Henry[00:02:59]

Oh you mountains seem cavin' in[00:03:02]

John Henry said to the Captain[00:03:04]

Oh my it ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind Lord Lord[00:03:07]

It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind[00:03:10]

It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind Lord Lord[00:03:12]

It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind[00:03:15]

Well John Henry said to the captain[00:03:18]

Looka yonder what I see[00:03:21]

Hole done choke drill done broke[00:03:24]

And you can't drive steel like me Lord Lord[00:03:26]

Can't drive steel like me[00:03:29]

Oh you can't drive steel like me no no[00:03:32]

You can't drive steel like me[00:03:34]

Well John Henry drove into the mountain[00:03:37]

Yes his hammer was strikin' fire[00:03:40]

He drove so hard he broke his poor heart[00:03:43]

When he laid down his hammer and he died Lord Lord[00:03:46]

Laid down his hammer and he died[00:03:48]

He laid down his hammer and he died Lord Lord[00:03:51]

He laid down his hammer and he died[00:03:54]

Well John Henry had a little woman[00:03:56]

And her name was Polly Ann[00:03:59]

She walked down the track[00:04:02]

She never looked back[00:04:03]

Polly Anne drove steel like a man Lord Lord[00:04:04]

Polly Anne drove steel like a man[00:04:07]

Polly Anne drove steel like a man Lord Lord[00:04:10]

Polly Anne drove steel like a man[00:04:13]

Oh the people took John Henry to the White House[00:04:15]

And they buried him in the sand[00:04:18]

Every locomotive come roarin' by[00:04:21]

Says there lies a steel drivin' man Lord Lord[00:04:23]

Just there lies a steel drivin' man[00:04:26]

Says there lies a steel drivin' man who is[00:04:29]

There lies a steel drivin' man[00:04:32]

Says there lies a steel drivin' man Lord Lord[00:04:34]

Just there lies a steel drivin' man[00:04:37]
