John Henry - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

John Henry when he was a baby[00:00:03]

Settin' on his mammy's knee[00:00:07]

Picked up an hammer in his little right hand[00:00:11]

Said "Hammer be the death of me me me [00:00:14]

Hammer be the death of me "[00:00:18]

Some say he's born in Texas[00:00:22]

Some say he's born up in Maine[00:00:25]

I just say he was a Louisiana man[00:00:29]

Leader of a steel-driving chain gang[00:00:32]

Leader on a steel-driving gang[00:00:36]

"Well" the captain said to John Henry[00:00:42]

"I'm gonna bring my steam drill around[00:00:45]

Gonna bring my steam drill around[00:00:49]

Gonna whup that steel on down down down[00:00:52]

Whup that steel on down "[00:00:56]

John Henry said to the captain (what he say )[00:00:59]

"You can bring your steam drill around[00:01:03]

Gonna bring my steam drill out on the job[00:01:06]

I'll beat your steam drill down down down[00:01:10]

Beat your steam drill down "[00:01:14]

John Henry said to his Shaker[00:01:18]

"Shaker you had better pray[00:01:22]

If you miss your six feet of steel[00:01:25]

It'll be your buryin' day day day[00:01:28]

It'll be your buryin' day "[00:01:32]

Now the Shaker said to John Henry[00:01:39]

"Man ain't nothing but a man[00:01:42]

But before I'd let that steam drill beat me down[00:01:46]

I'd die with an hammer in my hand hand hand[00:01:49]

I'd die with an hammer in my hand "[00:01:53]

John Henry had a little woman[00:01:58]

Her name was Polly Anne[00:02:01]

John Henry took sick and was laid up in bed[00:02:05]

While Polly handled steel like a man man man[00:02:08]

Polly handled steel like a man [00:02:12]

They took John Henry to the graveyard[00:02:15]

Laid him down in the sand[00:02:18]

Every locomotive comin' a-rolling by by by[00:02:22]

Hollered "there lies a steel-drivin' man man man[00:02:26]

There lies a steel-drivin' man "[00:02:29]

There lies a steel-drivin' man man man[00:02:32]

There lies a steel-drivin' man "[00:02:36]
