《John Henry》歌词

[00:00:00] John Henry - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:03] John Henry when he was a baby

[00:00:06] Settin' on his mammy's knee

[00:00:10] Picked up an hammer in

[00:00:11] His little right hand

[00:00:13] Said "Hammer be the death of me me me

[00:00:17] Hammer be the death of me "

[00:00:20] Some say he's born in Texas

[00:00:24] Some say he's born up in Maine

[00:00:27] I just say he was a Louisiana man

[00:00:31] Leader of a steel-driving chain gang

[00:00:34] Leader on a steel-driving gang

[00:00:40] "Well" the captain said to John Henry

[00:00:44] "I'm gonna bring my steam drill around

[00:00:47] Leader on a steel-driving gang

[00:00:51] Gonna whup that steel on down down down

[00:00:54] Whup that steel on down "

[00:00:58] John Henry said to the captain

[00:01:01] (what he say )

[00:01:01] "You can bring your steam drill around

[00:01:05] Gonna bring my steam drill out on the job

[00:01:08] I'll beat your steam drill down down down

[00:01:12] Beat your steam drill down "

[00:01:16] John Henry said to his Shaker

[00:01:20] "Shaker you had better pray

[00:01:23] If you miss your six feet of steel

[00:01:27] It'll be your buryin' day day day

[00:01:30] It'll be your buryin' day "

[00:01:37] Now the Shaker said to John Henry

[00:01:41] "Man ain't nothing but a man

[00:01:44] But before I'd let that

[00:01:46] Steam drill beat me down

[00:01:49] I'd die with an hammer

[00:01:50] In my hand hand hand

[00:01:51] I'd die with an hammer in my hand "

[00:01:56] John Henry had a little woman

[00:01:59] Her name was Polly Anne

[00:02:03] John Henry took sick and was laid up in bed

[00:02:07] While Polly handled steel like a man man man

[00:02:10] Polly handled steel like a man

[00:02:13] They took John Henry to the graveyard

[00:02:17] Laid him down in the sand

[00:02:20] Every locomotive comin' a-rolling by by by

[00:02:24] Hollered "there lies a

[00:02:25] Steel-drivin' man man man

[00:02:27] There lies a steel-drivin' man "

[00:02:30] There lies a steel-drivin' man man man "

[00:02:34] There lies a steel-drivin' man "
