John Henry - Lonnie Donegan[00:00:00]
Well John Henry told his little woman[00:00:03]
Honey cook my supper soon[00:00:07]
I've got ninety miles of track[00:00:11]
I'm going to line[00:00:13]
Gonna line them by the light of the moon[00:00:15]
Gonna line them by the light of the moon[00:00:19]
John Henry was a steel driver[00:00:22]
He was the best in the land[00:00:25]
And he'd die with his hammer in his hand[00:00:26]
I'll tell you all about him now[00:00:28]
Well John Henry told his captain[00:00:30]
You know a man ain't nothing but a man[00:00:34]
But before I let your steam drill beat me down[00:00:38]
Gonna die with my hammer in my hand[00:00:42]
Gonna die with my hammer in my hand[00:00:45]
John Henry told to his captain[00:00:49]
You know a man ain't nothing but a man[00:00:53]
But before I let your steam drill beat me down[00:00:56]
Gonna die with my hammer in my hand[00:01:00]
Gonna die with my hammer in my hand[00:01:04]
John Henry had another woman[00:01:08]
And the dress that she wore was red[00:01:11]
Oh she studies up the track lord she never looked back[00:01:15]
I'm going where John Henry lies dead[00:01:18]
I'm going where John Henry lies dead[00:01:22]
John Henry went down to Washington[00:01:26]
In the bed them in the sand[00:01:30]
And the people from the East and people from the west[00:01:33]
Ain't seen such a steel driving man[00:01:37]
Ain't seen such a steel driving man[00:01:41]
But if some say he's from England[00:01:44]
And some say he's from France[00:01:48]
No he's nothing but a Louisiana man[00:01:52]
A leader of the steel driving gang[00:01:56]
A leader of the steel driving gang[00:01:59]
