John Henry (约翰·亨利) - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)[00:00:00]

John Henry told his captain[00:00:12]

That a man was nothin' but a man[00:00:15]

Before he'd let that steam drill run him down [00:00:19]

He fought it with his hammer in his hand[00:00:22]

Fought it with his hammer in his hand[00:00:25]

The captain said to John Henry [00:00:34]

“Gonna bring me a steam drill round [00:00:37]

Gonna bring that steam drill out on the job [00:00:40]

Gonna whoop that steel on down [00:00:44]

Gonna whoop that steel on down ”[00:00:47]

The captain said to his shaker [00:00:54]

“Shaker why don't you sing ”[00:00:57]

“I'm throwing twelve pounds from the hips on down [00:01:00]

Just listen to that cold steel ring [00:01:04]

Listen to that cold steel ring ”[00:01:07]

The captain said to John Henry [00:01:14]

“I think this mountain's cavin' in ”[00:01:17]

John Henry gave one long and lonesome cry said[00:01:21]

“That's only my hammer suckin' wind;[00:01:24]

That's only my hammer suckin' wind ”[00:01:28]

John Henry had a little woman [00:01:39]

Her name was Polly Ann [00:01:43]

When John Henry was sick and a layin' in bed [00:01:46]

Polly drove steel like a man [00:01:50]

Polly drove steel like a man [00:01:53]

“Where did you get that dress gal[00:02:00]

Where did you get those shoes so fine”[00:02:03]

“I got that dress from off a railroad man [00:02:06]

And the shoes from a driver in the mine [00:02:10]

And shoes from a driver in the mine ”[00:02:13]

John Henry went down to the railroad[00:02:22]

With the twelve pound hammer by his side [00:02:25]

He walked down the track but he didn't come back [00:02:28]

Cos he laid down his hammer and he died [00:02:32]

He laid down his hammer and he died[00:02:35]
