《John Henry》歌词

[00:00:00] John Henry - Odetta

[00:00:08] John Henry was a little baby

[00:00:13] Sitting on his momma's knee

[00:00:17] Said The Big Bend Tunnel on the C O Road

[00:00:21] Is gonna be the death of me

[00:00:24] Lord Lord

[00:00:26] Be the death of me

[00:00:30] When John Henry was a little baby

[00:00:34] Sitting on his poppa's knee

[00:00:38] He took a hammer a little piece of steel

[00:00:42] Said Hammer's gonna be the death of me

[00:00:45] Lord

[00:00:45] Lord

[00:00:46] Hammer's gonna be the death of me

[00:00:50] John Henry had a little woman

[00:00:54] Her name was Mary Magdalene

[00:00:58] Every day she would sing for John Henry

[00:01:01] Just to hear his hammer when it swing

[00:01:05] Lord Lord

[00:01:06] Just to hear his hammer when it swing

[00:01:09] And now the captain he says to John Henry

[00:01:13] I'm gonna bring that steam drill round

[00:01:17] I'm gonna bring that steam

[00:01:19] Drill out on the job

[00:01:21] I'm gonna whop that steel on down

[00:01:24] Lord Lord

[00:01:26] Steel on down

[00:01:28] John Henry said to his captain

[00:01:32] I know a man ain't nothing but a man

[00:01:35] But before i'll let your steam

[00:01:38] Drill beat me down

[00:01:40] I'll die with my hammer in my hand

[00:01:42] Lord Lord

[00:01:43] I'll die with my hammer in my hand

[00:01:47] John Henry said to his shaker

[00:01:51] Shaker why don't you sing

[00:01:54] And now i'm throwing forty pounds

[00:01:56] From my hip on down

[00:01:58] Listen to the cold steel ring

[00:02:01] Lawdy

[00:02:02] Listen to the cold steel ring

[00:02:05] John Henry said to his captain

[00:02:16] You can't drive steel like me

[00:02:18] Lord

[00:02:20] You can't drive steel like me

[00:02:23] John Henry a working on the mountain

[00:02:27] Hammer was a striking fire

[00:02:30] But he worked so hard it

[00:02:32] Broke his poor heart
