Folk Blues: John Henry - Big Bill Broonzy[00:00:01]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:02]

John Henry said to his captain[00:00:20]

A man ain't nothin' but a man[00:00:24]

Before I let your steel drill beat me down[00:00:28]

I will die with a hammer in my hand[00:00:32]

I will die with a hammer in my hand[00:00:35]

I will die with a hammer in my hand[00:00:39]

Die with a hammer in my hand[00:00:43]

John Henry said to his shaker[00:00:47]

Now man why don't you sing[00:00:51]

I'm shakin' 12 pounds from my hips on down[00:00:55]

Now don't you hear that cold steel[00:00:58]

Now don't you hear that cold steel ring[00:01:02]

I don't you hear that cold steel ring[00:01:06]

Now don't you hear that cold steel ring[00:01:09]

John Henry went down that railroad track[00:01:32]

With a 12 pound hammer by his side[00:01:36]

Yes he went down the track but he never came back[00:01:40]

Because he laid down his hammer and he[00:01:43]

Yes he laid down his hammer and he died[00:01:47]

He laid down his hammer and he died[00:01:51]

Yes he laid down his hammer and he died[00:01:55]

John Henry hammered in the mountain[00:01:59]

And the mountain was so high[00:02:02]

And the last words that I heard that poor boy say[00:02:06]

Gimme a cool drink of water before I[00:02:10]

Gimme a cool drink of water before I die[00:02:13]

Gimme a cool drink of water before I die[00:02:17]

Gimme a cool drink of water before I die[00:02:21]

John Henry had a little woman[00:02:25]

And the dress that she wore was red[00:02:29]

And the last words that I heard that little girl say[00:02:33]

She said[00:02:36]

I'm going to where John Henry fell dead[00:02:36]

Yes I'm going to where John Henry fell dead[00:02:40]

I'm going to where John Henry fell dead[00:02:44]

Yes I'm going to where John Henry fell dead[00:02:47]

John Henry was a little baby boy[00:02:51]

And he held him in the palm of his hand[00:02:55]

And the last thing that I know that poor boy say[00:02:59]

I'm gonna be a steel driving man[00:03:03]

I'm gonna be a steel driving man[00:03:06]

I'm gonna be a steel driving man[00:03:10]
