John Henry - Harry Belafonte/Odetta[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:01]

John Henry he could hammer[00:00:05]

He could whistle he could sing[00:00:10]

He went to the mountain early in the mornin'[00:00:16]

Just to hear his hammer ring Lord Lord[00:00:21]

Just to hear his hammer ring[00:00:23]

Just to hear his hammer ring Lord Lord[00:00:26]

Just to hear his hammer ring[00:00:29]

When John Henry was a little baby[00:00:31]

Sittin' on his daddy's knee[00:00:34]

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

Said hammer be the death of me Lord Lord[00:00:39]

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

When John Henry's family needed money[00:00:44]

Said he didn't have but a dime[00:00:47]

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

I'll get it from the man in the mine Lord Lord[00:00:52]

I'll get it from the man in the mine[00:00:54]

I'll get it from the man in the mine Lord Lord[00:00:57]

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

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

What happened[00:01:08]

Said the captain what can you do[00:01:09]

I can hoist a jack I can lay a track[00:01:13]

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

I can pick and shovel too[00:01:20]

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

I can pick and shovel too[00:01:26]

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

Gonna bring me a steam drill 'round[00:01:33]

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

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

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

Well John Henry said to the captain[00:01:44]

Oh a man ain't nothin' but a man[00:01:46]

'Fore 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]

Look yonder what I see[00:01:59]

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[00:02:13]

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

His hammer was strikin' 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[00:02:33]

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

He 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 roarin' by[00:03:04]

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

There lies a steel drivin' man[00:03:09]

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

There lies a steel drivin' man[00:03:14]

Says there lies a steel drivin' man Lord lord[00:03:16]

There lies a steel drivin' man[00:03:19]
