John Henry - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]
Written by:Traditional[00:00:02]
John Henry was a little baby[00:00:04]
Sittin' on his papa's knee[00:00:07]
And he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel[00:00:10]
Said Hammer's gonna be the death of me Lord Lord[00:00:13]
Hammer's gonna be the death of me[00:00:17]
Hammer's gonna be the death of me[00:00:20]
Hammer's gonna be the death of me[00:00:23]
The captain said to John Henry[00:00:42]
Gonna bring that steam drill 'round[00:00:45]
Gonna bring that steam drill out on the job[00:00:48]
Gonna whop that steel on down Down[00:00:51]
Down[00:00:54]
Whop that steel on down[00:00:55]
Whop that steel on down[00:00:57]
Whop that steel on down[00:01:01]
John Henry told his captain[00:01:03]
A man ain't nothin' but a man[00:01:06]
But before I let your steam drill beat me[00:01:09]
Down[00:01:12]
I'd die with a hammer in my hand[00:01:13]
I'd die with a hammer in my hand[00:01:16]
I'd die with a hammer in my[00:01:19]
I'd die with a hammer in my hand[00:01:22]
John Henry said to his shaker[00:01:42]
Shaker why don't you sing[00:01:45]
Cause I'm throwin' thirty pounds from my hips on[00:01:48]
Down[00:01:51]
Just listen to that cold steel ring[00:01:51]
Just listen to that cold steel[00:01:55]
Just listen to that cold steel[00:01:58]
Just listen to that cold steel ring[00:02:01]
Now the captain said to John Henry[00:02:04]
I believe that mountain's caving in[00:02:07]
John Henry said right back to the captain[00:02:10]
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind[00:02:14]
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind[00:02:17]
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind[00:02:20]
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind[00:02:23]
Now the man that invented the steam drill[00:02:42]
He thought he was mighty fine[00:02:46]
But John Henry strove fifteen feet[00:02:49]
And the steam drill only made nine Lord Lord[00:02:52]
And the steam drill only made nine[00:02:55]
And the steam drill only made[00:02:58]
And the steam drill only made[00:03:01]
John Henry hammered in the mountains[00:03:04]
His hammer was striking fire[00:03:07]
But he worked so hard it broke his poor heart[00:03:10]
And he laid down his hammerand he died[00:03:14]
He laid down his hammerand he died[00:03:17]
He laid down his hammerand he died Lord Lord[00:03:20]
He laid down his hammerand he died[00:03:24]
Now John Henry had a little woman[00:03:26]
Her name was Polly Anne[00:03:30]
John Henry took sick and had to go to bed[00:03:33]
And Polly Anne drove steel like a man Lord Lord[00:03:37]
And Polly Anne drove steel like a man[00:03:40]
And Polly Anne drove steel like a[00:03:43]
And Polly Anne drove steel like a man[00:03:47]
So every Monday morning[00:03:49]
When the blue birds begin to sing[00:03:53]
You can hear John Henry a mile or more[00:03:56]
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring[00:03:59]
You can hear John Henry's hammer[00:04:02]
You can hear John Henry's hammer[00:04:06]
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring[00:04:09]
You can hear John Henry's hammer[00:04:12]
You can hear John Henry's hammer[00:04:15]
You can hear John Henry's hammer[00:04:18]
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring[00:04:21]
