《John Henry》歌词

[00:00:00] John Henry (约翰·亨利) - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:05] John Henry when he was a baby

[00:00:09] Settin' on his mammy's knee

[00:00:12] Picked up an hammer in his little right hand

[00:00:15] Said "Hammer be the death of me me me

[00:00:19] Hammer be the death of me "

[00:00:23] Some say he's born in Texas

[00:00:27] Some say he's born up in Maine

[00:00:30] I just say he was a Louisiana man

[00:00:34] Leader of a steel-driving chain gang

[00:00:37] Leader on a steel-driving gang

[00:00:43] "Well" the captain said to John Henry

[00:00:47] "I'm gonna bring my steam drill around

[00:00:50] You can bring your steam drill around

[00:00:54] Gonna whup that steel on down down down

[00:00:58] Whup that steel on down "

[00:01:01] John Henry said to the captain (what he say )

[00:01:04] You can bring your steam drill around

[00:01:08] You can bring your steam drill out on the job

[00:01:11] I'll beat your steam drill down down down

[00:01:15] Beat your steam drill down "

[00:01:19] John Henry said to his Shaker

[00:01:23] "Shaker you had better pray

[00:01:26] If you miss your six feet of steel

[00:01:29] It'll be your buryin' day day day

[00:01:33] It'll be your buryin' day "

[00:01:40] Now the Shaker said to John Henry

[00:01:44] "Man ain't nothing but a man

[00:01:47] But before I'd let that steam drill beat me down

[00:01:50] I'd die with an hammer in my hand hand hand

[00:01:53] I'd die with an hammer in my hand "

[00:01:59] John Henry had a little woman

[00:02:02] Her name was Polly Anne

[00:02:06] John Henry took sick and was laid up in bed

[00:02:09] While Polly handled steel like a man man man

[00:02:13] Polly handled steel like a man

[00:02:16] They took John Henry to the graveyard

[00:02:20] Laid him down in the sand

[00:02:23] Every locomotive comin' a-rolling by

[00:02:26] Hollered "there lies a steel-drivin' man man man

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

[00:02:34] Hollered there lies a steel-drivin' man man man

[00:02:37] Hollered there lies a steel-drivin' man "
