《John Henry》歌词

[00:00:18] When John Henry was a little bitty boy

[00:00:25] He picked up a hammer in his hand

[00:00:29] Looked up at his mama and smilingly said

[00:00:32] I want to be a steel drivin' man

[00:00:34] Lord Lord I want to be a steel drivin' man

[00:00:37] Soon John Henry grew up to be a man

[00:00:48] And took a hammer in his hand

[00:00:53] He could drive steel with either hand

[00:00:59] He was a darn good steel drivin' man

[00:01:03] Lord Lord he was a darn good steel drivin' man

[00:01:05] Now John Henry drove an awful lot of steel

[00:01:08] He was the best driver in the land

[00:01:11] When he'd start in to drivin' down that steel

[00:01:15] The sparks would fly to beat the band

[00:01:19] Lord Lord the sparks would fly to beat the band

[00:01:24] One day they brought a steam driver around

[00:01:49] On John Henry's face was a smile

[00:01:54] Just give me a twelve pound hammer Mister Boss

[00:01:56] And I'll beat that driver by a mile

[00:01:59] Lord Lord I'll beat that driver by a mile

[00:02:02] Old John Henry started pounding down the steel

[00:02:04] The steam drill was there by his side

[00:02:06] They both drove steel for ten hours straight

[00:02:10] Then John Henry fell and he died

[00:02:20] Lord Lord then John Henry fell
