John Henry - Harry Belafonte[00:00:01]

John Henry he could hammer [00:00:04]

He could whistle he could sing[00:00:09]

He went to the mountain early in the morning[00:00:15]

Just to hear his hammer ring Lord Lord[00:00:20]

Hear hear his hammer ring [00:00:23]

Just to hear his hammer ring Lord Lord[00:00:25]

Hear hear his hammer ring [00:00:28]

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

Sitting on his daddy's knee[00:00:33]

He picked up a hammer a little piece of steel [00:00:36]

Said hammer be the death of me Lord Lord[00:00:38]

Said hammer be the death of me[00:00:41]

When John Henry's fam'ly needed money [00:00:43]

Said he didn't have but a dime[00:00:46]

If you wait till the red sun goes down[00:00:49]

I'll get it from the man in the mine Lord Lord[00:00:51]

Get it from the man in the mine[00:00:54]

I'll get it from the man in the mine Lord Lord[00:00:56]

Get it from the man in the mine[00:00:59]

Well John Henry went to the Captain[00:01:05]

What happened[00:01:07]

Said the captain what can you do[00:01:08]

I can hoist a jack I can lay a track[00:01:12]

I can pick and shovel too Lord Lord[00:01:16]

Pick and shovel too[00:01:19]

I can pick and shovel too Lord Lord[00:01:22]

Pick and shovel too[00:01:26]

Well the captain said to John Henry [00:01:30]

I wanna bring me a steam drill around[00:01:32]

Wannna bring me a steam drill out on the job[00:01:35]

Wannna whup that steel on down Lord Lord[00:01:38]

What that steel on down[00:01:41]

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

Oh a man ain't nothing but a man[00:01:46]

For I'd let your steam drill beat me down [00:01:49]

I'd die with my hammer in my hand Lord Lord[00:01:52]

Die with my hammer in my hand[00:01:55]

Well John Henry said to the captain [00:01:57]

Looka yonder what I see [00:02:00]

Hole done choke drill done broke [00:02:03]

And you can't drive steel like me Lord Lord[00:02:05]

Can't drive steel like me[00:02:08]

Oh you can't drive steel like me no no[00:02:10]

Can't drive steel like me[00:02:14]

Well John Henry drove into the mountain [00:02:18]

His hammer was striking fire[00:02:22]

He drove so hard he broke his poor heart[00:02:25]

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

Laid down his hammer and he died[00:02:39]

Laid down his hammer and he died Great God[00:02:45]

Laid down his hammer and he died[00:02:51]

Oh they took John Henry to the White House[00:02:58]

And they buried him in the sand[00:03:01]

Every locomotive come roaring by[00:03:04]

Says there lies a steel driving man Lord Lord[00:03:06]

There lies a steel driving man[00:03:09]

Says there lies a steel driving man [00:03:11]

There lies a steel driving man[00:03:14]

Says there lies a steel driving man Lord Lord[00:03:17]

There lies a steel driving man[00:03:20]
