John Henry (Live) - Hank Thompson[00:00:00]
Written by:Traditional[00:00:00]
John Henry was just a little bitty boy[00:00:17]
No bigger than the palm of your hand[00:00:20]
His mammy looked down at John Henry and say[00:00:24]
Johnny you're gonna be a steal drivin' man lord lord[00:00:27]
Johnny you're gonna be a steal drivin' man[00:00:31]
John Henry was a hers bore boy[00:00:34]
Sittin' on his mommy's knee[00:00:37]
When he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel[00:00:40]
This hammer'd gonna be a death of me lord lord[00:00:44]
This hammer'd gonna be a death of me[00:00:47]
John Henry he said to his captain captain[00:01:07]
I wanna hear you sing[00:01:11]
I'll swing forty nine pounds from my hips on down[00:01:14]
I like to hear that cold steel ring lord lord[00:01:17]
I like to hear that cold steel ring[00:01:21]
Been happen he said John Henry[00:01:24]
Said I think that can I was happening[00:01:27]
John Henry just like to his captain and said[00:01:31]
And nothing but my hear something ring lord lord[00:01:34]
And nothing but my hear suck ring[00:01:38]
John Henry had a little woman and[00:01:57]
Her name was Polly Ann[00:02:01]
John Henry he got sick and he had to go to bed[00:02:04]
But Polly drove the steel like a man lord[00:02:08]
Lord Polly drove the steel like a man[00:02:10]
John Henry drove the steel on that mountain[00:02:14]
Till his hammer caught on fire[00:02:17]
And the last words we heard John Henry say[00:02:21]
Cool drink of water before I die lord[00:02:25]
Lord a cool drink of water before I die[00:02:27]
Well they took John Henry to the graveyard[00:02:31]
Stuck him six feet under the sand[00:02:34]
Everytime the freight train that go puffin' by[00:02:37]
They say there lies a steel drivin' man[00:02:41]
Lord lord yonder lies a steel drivin' man[00:02:43]
