《John Henry》歌词

[00:00:10] When John Henry was a little baby

[00:00:11] Sitting on his daddy's knee

[00:00:14] Pointed he figured out a little piece of steel

[00:00:15] Steel's gonna be the death of me Lord Lord

[00:00:15] Steel's gonna be the death of me

[00:00:36] Well now steel's gonna be the death of me Lord Lord

[00:00:36] Steel's gonna be the death of me

[00:00:39] John Henry told his captain one day

[00:00:40] 'A man ain't nothin' but a man

[00:00:41] Before I will let you steam drill beat me down

[00:00:43] Would die with this hammer in my hand Lord Lord'

[00:00:44] Die with this hammer in my hand

[00:00:45] I would die with this hammer in my hand Lord Lord

[00:00:47] Die with this hammer in my hand

[00:00:47] John Henry had a little woman

[00:00:48] Her name was Polly Ann

[00:00:50] John Henry got sick and had to go to bed

[00:00:51] You know Polly she drove steel like a man Lord Lord

[00:01:47] Polly she drove steel like a man

[00:01:48] How she drive John Henry drivin' on the right hand side

[00:02:14] Steam drill drivin' on the left

[00:02:22] Before I will let your steam drill beat me down

[00:02:31] I will drive my poor self to death Lord Lord

[00:02:38] Drive my poor self to death

[00:02:39] John Henry drove steel on the Southern

[00:02:40] He drove steel on the C&O

[00:02:40] He drove steel for that Big Ben Tunnel

[00:02:41] Steel drivin' kill John you know steel drivin' kill John you know

[00:02:48] Well now steel drivin' kill John you know Lord Lord

[00:02:49] Steel drivin' kill John you know

[00:02:49] Some says John Henry was born in Texas

[00:02:54] Some people thinks he was born in Maine

[00:03:02] John Henry was born down in Tennessee

[00:03:02] He was a leader of a steel-driving-gang Lord Lord

[00:03:03] Leader of a steel-driving-gang

[00:03:03] Was a leader of a steel-driving-gang Lord Lord

[00:03:05] Leader of a steel-driving-gang

[00:03:05] Well the captain loved to see John Henry

[00:03:06] One of all loved to hear him sing

[00:03:07] But most of all that the paymaster loved

[00:03:08] He just loved to get John Henry's hammer ring

[00:03:11] He just loved to get John Henry's hammer ring Lord Lord

[00:03:12] Loved to get John Henry's hammer ring

[00:03:13] They carried John Henry on the mountain

[00:03:14] Upon a mountain so high

[00:03:15] Last words I heard that poor boy say

[00:03:19] Give me a cool drink of water 'fore I die

[00:03:19] Give me a cool drink of water 'fore I die

[00:03:47] Give me a cool drink of water 'fore I die

[00:03:48] Well they carried John Henry's body to the White-house

[00:03:49] And they laid it in the sand

[00:03:51] Every time a locomotive follows go rollin' by

[00:03:54] They say yonder lays a steel-drivin' man

[00:03:55] Well now yonder lays a steel-drivin' man

[00:03:56] They say yonder lays a steel-drivin' man

[00:03:57] Yonder lays a steel-drivin' man
