John Henry (Remaster) - Odetta (欧蒂塔)[00:00:00]

Written by：Rr/Traditional[00:00:00]

John Henry was a little baby[00:00:08]

Sittin on his momma's knee[00:00:14]

Said the big bend tunnel on the C & O road[00:00:17]

Is gonna be the death of me lord[00:00:21]

Be the death of me[00:00:26]

When John Henry was a little baby[00:00:30]

Sittin' on his poppa's knee[00:00:35]

He took a hammer a little piece of steel[00:00:38]

Said hammer's gonna be the death of me lord lord[00:00:42]

Hammer's gonna be the death of me[00:00:46]

John Henry had a little woman[00:00:50]

Her name was Mary Magdalene[00:00:54]

Every day she would sing for John Henry[00:00:58]

Just to hear his hammer when it swing lord[00:01:02]

Just to hear his hammer when it swing[00:01:06]

And now the captain he says to John Henry[00:01:09]

I'm gonna bring that steam drill round[00:01:13]

I'm gonna bring that steam drill out on the job[00:01:17]

I'm gonna whop that steel on down steel on down[00:01:21]

John Henry said to his captain[00:01:28]

I know a man ain't nothin' but a man[00:01:32]

But before I'll let your steam drill beat me down[00:01:36]

I'll die with my hammer in my hand lord[00:01:40]

I'll die with my hammer in my hand[00:01:43]

John Henry said to his shaker[00:01:46]

Shaker why don't you sing[00:01:51]

And now I'm throwin' forty pounds from my hip on down[00:01:54]

Listen to the cold steel ring lawdy lawdy[00:01:58]

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

John Henry said to his captain[00:02:05]

Looky yonder what I see[00:02:08]

Steam drill broke your hole done choke[00:02:12]

You can't drive steel like me lord[00:02:16]

You can't drive steel like me[00:02:19]

John Henry a workin' on the mountain[00:02:23]

Hammer was a strikin' fire[00:02:26]

But he worked so hard it broke his poor heart[00:02:30]

He laid down his hammer and he died lawdy[00:02:34]

He lad down his hammer and he died[00:02:37]

Now momma's gonna shoe my pretty little feet[00:02:40]

Poppy gonna glove my hand[00:02:44]

Sister gonna kiss my red ruby lips[00:02:48]

I don't need no man lawdy lawdy[00:02:51]

Not after my steel drivin' man lawdy lawdy[00:02:55]

Not after my steel drivin' man[00:02:59]
