《John Henry》歌词

[00:00:06] John Henry told his captain that a man was nothin' but a man

[00:00:08] Before he'd let that steam drill run him down

[00:00:10] He fought it with his hammer in his hand

[00:00:14] Fought it with his hammer in his hand

[00:00:19] The captain said to John Henry

[00:00:25] Gonna bring me a steam drill round

[00:00:27] Gonna bring that steam drill out on the job

[00:00:29] Gonna whoop that steel on down

[00:00:31] Gonna whoop that steel on down

[00:00:32] The captain said to his shaker

[00:00:34] Shaker

[00:00:34] Why don't you sing

[00:00:37] I'm throwing twelve pounds from the hips on down

[00:00:43] Just listen to that cold steel ring

[00:00:44] Listen to that cold steel ring

[00:00:46] The captain said to John Henry

[00:00:47] I think this mountain's cavin' in

[00:00:49] John Henry gave one long and lonesome cry

[00:00:53] Said

[00:00:53] That's only my hammer suckin' wind

[00:00:56] That's only my hammer suckin' wind

[00:01:03] John Henry had a little woman

[00:01:05] Her name was Polly Ann

[00:01:05] When John Henry was sick and a layin' in bed

[00:01:08] Polly drove steel like a man

[00:01:09] Polly drove steel like a man

[00:01:10] Where did you get that dress

[00:01:20] Gal

[00:01:20] Where did you get those shoes so fine

[00:01:22] I got that dress from off a railroad man

[00:01:25] And the shoes from a driver in the mine

[00:01:27] And shoes from a driver in the mine

[00:01:32] John Henry went down to the railroad

[00:01:38] With the twelve pound hammer by his side

[00:01:41] He walked down the track but he didn't come back

[00:01:43] Cos he laid down his hammer and he died

[00:01:47] He laid down his hammer and he died
