《John Henry》歌词

[00:00:00] John Henry (约翰·亨利) - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)

[00:00:12] John Henry told his captain

[00:00:15] That a man was nothin' but a man

[00:00:19] Before he'd let that steam drill run him down

[00:00:22] He fought it with his hammer in his hand

[00:00:25] Fought it with his hammer in his hand

[00:00:34] The captain said to John Henry

[00:00:37] “Gonna bring me a steam drill round

[00:00:40] Gonna bring that steam drill out on the job

[00:00:44] Gonna whoop that steel on down

[00:00:47] Gonna whoop that steel on down ”

[00:00:54] The captain said to his shaker

[00:00:57] “Shaker why don't you sing ”

[00:01:00] “I'm throwing twelve pounds from the hips on down

[00:01:04] Just listen to that cold steel ring

[00:01:07] Listen to that cold steel ring ”

[00:01:14] The captain said to John Henry

[00:01:17] “I think this mountain's cavin' in ”

[00:01:21] John Henry gave one long and lonesome cry said

[00:01:24] “That's only my hammer suckin' wind;

[00:01:28] That's only my hammer suckin' wind ”

[00:01:39] John Henry had a little woman

[00:01:43] Her name was Polly Ann

[00:01:46] When John Henry was sick and a layin' in bed

[00:01:50] Polly drove steel like a man

[00:01:53] Polly drove steel like a man

[00:02:00] “Where did you get that dress gal

[00:02:03] Where did you get those shoes so fine”

[00:02:06] “I got that dress from off a railroad man

[00:02:10] And the shoes from a driver in the mine

[00:02:13] And shoes from a driver in the mine ”

[00:02:22] John Henry went down to the railroad

[00:02:25] With the twelve pound hammer by his side

[00:02:28] He walked down the track but he didn't come back

[00:02:32] Cos he laid down his hammer and he died

[00:02:35] He laid down his hammer and he died
