John Henry had a little woman

And the dress she wore was red

She walked down the track,

She never looked back

I'm going where John Henry fell dead

I'm going where John Henry fell dead

John Henry had another woman

And her name was Polly Anne

John Henry was taken sick

And he had to go to bed

Polly Anne drove steel like a man

Polly Anne drove steel like a man

John Henry told his little woman

Honey fix, honey fix my supper soon

I got ninety-nine miles

Of track I wanna line back

I'm gonna line 'em by the light of the moon

I'm gonna line 'em by the light of the moon

John Henry said to his captain

You know a man ain't nothin' but a man

I'm bettin' right now you wont beat me down

I'm gonna die with my hammer in my hand

I'm gonna die with my hammer in my hand

John Henry hammered in the mountain

Until his hammer caught on fire

The last word's I heard that the poor boy said

Give me a cool drink of water before I die

Give me a cool drink of water before I die

Give me a cool drink of water before I die

Give me a cool drink of water before I die

Give me a cool drink of water before I die

Give me a cool drink of water before I die
