[00:00:00] John Henry (约翰·亨利) - Odetta (欧蒂塔)

[00:00:09] John Henry was a little baby

[00:00:14] 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

[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

[00:00:44] 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

[00:01:04] Lord

[00:01:05] 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 drill out on the job

[00:01:20] I'm gonna whop that steel on down

[00:01:23] Lord lord

[00:01:35] But before i'll let your steam drill beat me down

[00:01:39] I'll die with my hammer in my hand

[00:01:42] Lord

[00:01:42] I'll die with my hammer in my hand

[00:01:46] John Henry said to his shaker

[00:01:50] Shaker why don't you sing

[00:01:53] And now i'm throwing forty pounds

[00:01:55] From my hip on down

[00:01:57] Listen to the cold steel ring
