John Henry - Harry Belafonte[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:01]

John Henry he could hammer[00:00:06]

He could whistle he could sing[00:00:11]

He went to the mountain early in the mornin'[00:00:17]

Just to hear his hammer ring Lord Lord[00:00:22]

Hear hear his hammer ring[00:00:25]

Just to hear his hammer ring Lord Lord[00:00:27]

Hear hear his hammer ring[00:00:30]

When John Henry was a little baby[00:00:33]

Sittin' on his daddy's knee[00:00:35]

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

Said hammer be the death of me Lord Lord[00:00:40]

Hammer be the death of me[00:00:43]

When John Henry's family needed money[00:00:46]

Said he didn't have but a dime[00:00:48]

If you wait 'til the red sun goes down[00:00:51]

I'll get it from the man in the mine Lord Lord[00:00:53]

Get it from the man in the mine[00:00:56]

I'll get it from the man in the mine Lord Lord[00:00:59]

Get it from the man in the mine[00:01:01]

Well John Henry went to the Captain[00:01:07]

What happen[00:01:09]

Said the Captain what can you do[00:01:10]

I can hoist a Jack I can lay a track[00:01:14]

I can pick and shovel too Lord Lord[00:01:18]

I can pick and shovel too[00:01:22]

I can pick and shovel too Lord Lord[00:01:24]

I can pick and shovel too[00:01:28]

Well the Captain said to John Henry[00:01:32]

I gonna bring me a steam drill 'round[00:01:34]

Gonna bring me a steam drill out on the job[00:01:37]

Gonna whup that steel on down Lord Lord[00:01:40]

Whup that steel on down[00:01:43]

But John Henry said to the Captain[00:01:45]

Oh a man ain't nothin' but a man[00:01:48]

'Fore I'd let your steam drill beat me down[00:01:51]

I'd die with my hammer in my hand Lord Lord[00:01:54]

Die with my hammer in my hand[00:01:56]

Well John Henry said to the Captain[00:01:59]

Looka yonder what I see[00:02:01]

Hole done choke drill done broke[00:02:05]

And you can't drive steel like me Lord Lord[00:02:07]

Can't drive steel like me[00:02:10]

Oh no you can't drive steel like me no no[00:02:12]

Can't drive steel like me[00:02:15]

Well John Henry drove into the mountain[00:02:20]

His hammer was strikin' fire[00:02:24]

He drove so hard he broke his poor heart[00:02:27]

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

Laid down his hammer and he died[00:02:41]

He laid down his hammer and he died Great God[00:02:46]

Laid down his hammer and he died[00:02:53]

Oh they took John Henry to the White House[00:03:00]

And they buried him in the sand[00:03:02]

Every locomotive come roarin' by[00:03:05]

Says there lies a steel drivin' man Lord Lord[00:03:08]

There lies a steel drivin' man[00:03:11]

Says there lies a steel drivin' man[00:03:13]

There lies a steel drivin' man[00:03:16]

Says there lies a steel drivin' man Lord Lord[00:03:18]

There lies a steel drivin' man[00:03:21]
