歌曲歌詞
John Henry's pappy woke him up one midnight
He said Fore the sheriff comes
I wanna tell you listen boy
Said Learn to ball a jack
Learn to lay a track
Learn to pick
And shovel too
And take my hammer
It'll do anything you tell it to
John Henry's mammy had
About a dozen babies
John Henry's pappy broke jail
About a dozen times
The babies all got sick
And when the doctor wanted money
He said I'll pay you a quarter
At a time startin' tomorrow
That's the pay for a steel driver
On this line
Then the section foreman
Said Hey hammer swinger
I see you brought your own hammer boy
But what else can all those muscles do
And he said
I can turn a jack
I can lay a track
I can pick and shovel too
Can you swing a hammer boy
Yes sir I'll do anything you hire me to
Now ain't you somethin'
So high and mighty wif your muscles
Just go ahead boy and pick up that hammer
Pick up the hammer
He said Get a rusty spike
And swing it down three times
I'll pay you a nickel a day
