歌词
John Henry he told his captain
A man ain't nothing but a man
Before I'd be beaten by this old steam drill
I'm gonna die with my hammer in my hand
Lord lord
Gonna die with a hammer in my hands
John Henry he told his captain
Captain how can it be
The big bend tunnel on the C&O road
Is gonna be the death of me
Lord lord
Gonna be the death of me
John Henry had a little hammer
Handle was made of bone
Every time he hit that rail on the head
Hammer reaches down and groans
Lord lord
Hammer reaches down and groans
John Henry he told his shaker
Shaker you better pray
For if I miss this six foot steel
Tomorrow be your burying day
Lord lord
Tomorrow be your burying day
John Henry had but one only son
Sat in the palm of your hand
The very play John Henry said
Son don't be a steel driving man
Lord lord
Son don't be a steel driving man
John Henry had a little woman
Her name was Sally Ann
John Henry got sick and he could not work
Sally drove her steel like a man
Lord lord
Sally drove her steel like a man
