歌曲歌詞
John Henry was a little baby
Sittin' on his papa's knee
And he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
Said Hammer's gonna be the death of me Lord Lord
Hammer's gonna be the death of me
Hammer's gonna be the death of me
Hammer's gonna be the death of me
The captain said to John Henry
Gonna bring that steam drill 'round
Gonna bring that steam drill out on the job
Gonna whop that steel on down Down
Down
Whop that steel on down
Whop that steel on down
Whop that steel on down
John Henry told his captain
A man ain't nothin' but a man
But before I let your steam drill beat me
Down
I'd die with a hammer in my hand
I'd die with a hammer in my hand
I'd die with a hammer in my
I'd die with a hammer in my hand
John Henry said to his shaker
Shaker why don't you sing
Cause I'm throwin' thirty pounds from my hips on
Down
Just listen to that cold steel ring
Just listen to that cold steel
Just listen to that cold steel
Just listen to that cold steel ring
Now the captain said to John Henry
I believe that mountain's caving in
John Henry said right back to the captain
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind
Now the man that invented the steam drill
He thought he was mighty fine
But John Henry strove fifteen feet
And the steam drill only made nine Lord Lord
And the steam drill only made nine
And the steam drill only made
And the steam drill only made
John Henry hammered in the mountains
His hammer was striking fire
But he worked so hard it broke his poor heart
And he laid down his hammerand he died
He laid down his hammerand he died
He laid down his hammerand he died Lord Lord
He laid down his hammerand he died
Now John Henry had a little woman
Her name was Polly Anne
John Henry took sick and had to go to bed
And Polly Anne drove steel like a man Lord Lord
And Polly Anne drove steel like a man
And Polly Anne drove steel like a
And Polly Anne drove steel like a man
So every Monday morning
When the blue birds begin to sing
You can hear John Henry a mile or more
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring
You can hear John Henry's hammer
You can hear John Henry's hammer
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring
You can hear John Henry's hammer
You can hear John Henry's hammer
You can hear John Henry's hammer
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring
