[00:00:01] The Legend Of John Henry's Hammer (Album Version) - Johnny Cash
[00:00:19] John Henry's pappy woke him up one midnight
[00:00:23] He said Fore the sheriff comes
[00:00:25] I wanna tell you listen boy
[00:00:28] Said Learn to ball a jack
[00:00:31] Learn to lay a track
[00:00:33] Learn to pick
[00:00:34] And shovel too
[00:00:36] And take my hammer
[00:00:37] It'll do anything you tell it to
[00:00:42] John Henry's mammy had
[00:00:44] About a dozen babies
[00:00:47] John Henry's pappy broke jail
[00:00:49] About a dozen times
[00:00:52] The babies all got sick
[00:00:54] And when the doctor wanted money
[00:00:57] He said I'll pay you a quarter
[00:00:59] At a time startin' tomorrow
[00:01:02] That's the pay for a steel driver
[00:01:04] On this line
[00:01:06] Then the section foreman
[00:01:08] Said Hey hammer swinger
[00:01:11] I see you brought your own hammer boy
[00:01:13] But what else can all those muscles do
[00:01:15] And he said
[00:01:16] I can turn a jack
[00:01:18] I can lay a track
[00:01:20] I can pick and shovel too
[00:01:23] Can you swing a hammer boy
[00:01:25] Yes sir I'll do anything you hire me to
[00:01:36] Now ain't you somethin'
[00:01:38] So high and mighty wif your muscles
[00:01:42] Just go ahead boy and pick up that hammer
[00:01:44] Pick up the hammer
[00:01:46] He said Get a rusty spike
[00:01:48] And swing it down three times
[00:01:51] I'll pay you a nickel a day
[00:01:52] For every inch you sink it to
[00:01:55] Go on and do what you say you can do
[00:01:59] With a steep nose hammer
[00:02:01] On a four foot switch handle
[00:02:04] John Henry raised it back 'til
[00:02:05] It touched his heels then
[00:02:08] The spike went through the cross tie
[00:02:10] And it split it half in two
[00:02:13] Thirty-five cents a day for drivin' steel
[00:02:15] Sweat sweat boy
[00:02:17] Sweat you owe me two more swings
[00:02:20] I was born for driven steel
[00:02:29] Well John Henry hammered in the mountain
[00:02:33] He'd give a grunt he'd give a groan
[00:02:35] With every swing
[00:02:37] The women folks for miles around heard him
[00:02:40] And come down
[00:02:42] To watch him make the cold steel ring Lord
[00:02:45] What a swinger
[00:02:46] Just listen to that cold steel ring
[00:02:53] But the bad boss come up laughin' at John Henry
[00:02:58] Said You full of vinegar now
[00:03:00] But you about through
[00:03:02] We gonna get a steam drill to do
[00:03:05] Your share of drivin'
[00:03:07] Then what's all them muscles gonna do
[00:03:10] Huh John Henry
[00:03:11] Gonna take a little bit of vinegar
[00:03:13] Out of you
[00:03:15] John Henry said I feed four little brothers
[00:03:19] And baby sister's walkin' on her knees
[00:03:24] Did the Lord say that
[00:03:26] Machines oughtta take the place of livin'
[00:03:31] And what's a substitute for bread and beans
[00:03:36] I ain't seen it
[00:03:37] Do engines get rewarded for their steam
[00:03:55] John Henry hid in a coal mine
[00:03:57] For his dinner nap
[00:03:59] Had thirty minutes to rest before the bell
[00:04:03] The mine boss hollered Get up
[00:04:06] Whoever you are and get a pick axe
[00:04:08] Give me enough coal to start another hell
[00:04:10] And keep it burnin'
[00:04:12] Mine me enough to start another hell
[00:04:16] John Henry said to his captain
[00:04:21] A man ain't nothin' but a man
[00:04:24] But if you'll bring that steam drill round
[00:04:27] I'll beat it fair and honest
[00:04:29] I'll die with my hammer in my hand
[00:04:32] But I'll be laughin'
[00:04:33] 'Cuz you can't replace a steel drivin' man
[00:04:38] There was a big crowd of people
[00:04:40] At the mountain
[00:04:42] John Henry said to the steam drill
[00:04:44] How is you
[00:04:46] Pardon me mister steam drill
[00:04:48] I suppose you didn't hear me
[00:04:49] I said How're you
[00:04:51] Well can you turn a jack can you lay a track
[00:04:57] Can you pick and shovel too
[00:05:01] Listen this hammer swinger's talkin' to you
[00:05:28] Two thousand people hollered Go John Henry
[00:05:32] Then somebody hollered The mountain's caving in
[00:05:36] John Henry told the captain
[00:05:38] Tell the kind folks don't worry
[00:05:40] That ain't nothin'
[00:05:41] But my hammer suckin' wind it
[00:05:43] Keeps me breathin'
[00:05:44] A steel driver's muscle I intend
[00:05:53] Captain tell the people move back further
[00:05:57] I'm at the finish line
[00:05:58] And there ain't no drill
[00:06:01] It's so far behind
[00:06:02] But yet ain't got the brains to quit it
[00:06:05] When she blows up
[00:06:06] She'll scatter 'cross the hills Lord lordy
[00:06:09] When she blows up
[00:06:09] She'll scatter 'cross the hills
[00:06:23] Well John Henry had a little woman
[00:06:28] I believe the lady's name was Polly Ann
[00:06:32] Yeah that was his good woman
[00:06:34] John Henry threw his hammer over his shoulder
[00:06:36] And went on home
[00:06:38] He laid down to rest his weary back
[00:06:40] And early next mornin'
[00:06:41] He said Come here Polly Ann come here sugar
[00:06:45] Ya know I believe this is the first time
[00:06:47] I ever watched
[00:06:48] The sun come up that I couldn't come up
[00:06:51] Take my hammer Polly Ann
[00:06:52] And go to that railroad
[00:06:54] Swing that hammer like you seen me do it
[00:06:56] And when you're swingin' with the lead man
[00:06:58] They'll all know
[00:06:59] They'll all know you're John Henry's woman
[00:07:02] But but tell them ain't all you can do
[00:07:04] Tell 'em I can hoist a jack
[00:07:07] And I can lay a track
[00:07:09] I can pick
[00:07:10] And shovel too ain't no machine can
[00:07:15] That's been proved to you
[00:07:27] There was a big crowd of mourners
[00:07:29] At the church house
[00:07:32] The section hands laid him in the sand
[00:07:36] Trains go by on the rails John Henry laid
[00:07:42] They slow down
[00:07:43] And take off their hats the men do
[00:07:45] When they come to the place
[00:07:46] Where John Henry's layin'
[00:07:47] Restin' his back some of 'em
[00:07:49] Say Mornin' steel driver
[00:07:52] You sure was a hammer swinger
[00:07:54] Then they go on by pickin' up
[00:07:55] A little speed
[00:07:56] Clickity clack
[00:07:57] Clickity clack
[00:07:58] Clickity clack
[00:07:59] Clickity clack
[00:08:00] Yonder lies a steel drivin' man oh Lord
[00:08:04] Yonder lies a steel drivin' man
[00:08:08] Yonder lies a steel drivin' man oh Lord
[00:08:13] Yonder lies a steel drivin' man
[00:08:17] Yonder lies a steel drivin' man oh Lord
[00:08:20] Yonder lies a steel drivin' man
