John Henry - Odetta[00:00:00]

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

Sitting on his momma's knee[00:00:13]

Said The Big Bend Tunnel on the C O Road[00:00:17]

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

Lord Lord[00:00:24]

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

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

Sitting on his poppa's knee[00:00:34]

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

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

Lord[00:00:45]

Lord[00:00:45]

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[00:01:01]

Lord Lord[00:01:05]

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[00:01:17]

Drill out on the job[00:01:19]

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

Lord Lord[00:01:24]

Steel on down[00:01:26]

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

I know a man ain't nothing but a man [00:01:32]

But before i'll let your steam[00:01:35]

Drill beat me down[00:01:38]

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

Lord Lord[00:01:42]

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

John Henry said to his shaker[00:01:47]

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

And now i'm throwing forty pounds[00:01:54]

From my hip on down[00:01:56]

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

Lawdy[00:02:00]

Lawdy[00:02:01]

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[00:02:16]

Lord[00:02:18]

You can't drive steel like me[00:02:20]

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

Hammer was a striking fire[00:02:27]

But he worked so hard it[00:02:30]

Broke his poor heart[00:02:32]

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

Lawdy[00:02:36]

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

Now momma's gonna shoe[00:02:40]

My pretty little feet[00:02:42]

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

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

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

Lawdy[00:02:54]

Lawdy[00:02:54]

Not after my steel driving man[00:02:55]

Lawdy[00:02:57]

Lawdy[00:02:58]

Not after my steel driving man[00:02:59]
