《John Henry》歌词

[00:00:09] When John Henry was a little baby boy sitting on the his papa's knee

[00:00:20] Well he picked up a hammer and little piece of steel

[00:00:22] Said Hammer's gonna be the death of me lord lord

[00:00:25] Hammer's gonna be the death of mine

[00:00:28] The captain said to John Henry

[00:00:31] I'm gonna bring that steam drill around

[00:00:34] I'm gonna bring that sterm drill out on the job

[00:00:38] I'm gonna whup that steel on down

[00:00:42] John Henry told his captain

[00:00:45] Lord a man ain't nothing but a man

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

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

[00:01:04] John Henry asid to his shaker

[00:01:08] Shaker why don't you sing

[00:01:10] Because I'm swinging thirty pounds from my hips on down

[00:01:16] Just listen to that cold steel ring

[00:01:41] Now the captain said to John Henry

[00:01:44] I believe that mountain's caving in

[00:01:55] John Henry said right back to the captain

[00:02:06] Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind

[00:02:17] Now the man that invented the steam drill

[00:02:20] He thought he was mighty fine

[00:02:23] But John Henry srove fifteen feet

[00:02:28] The steam drill only made nine

[00:02:31] John Henry hammered in the mountains

[00:02:34] His hammer was striking fire

[00:02:37] But he worked so hard it broke his poor heart

[00:02:41] And he laid down his hammerand he died

[00:02:44] NOw John Henry had a little woman

[00:02:47] Her name was polly Anne

[00:02:50] John Henry took sick and had to go to bed

[00:02:54] Polly Anne drove steel like a man

[00:02:55] John Henry had a little baby

[00:02:57] You could hold him in the palm of your hand

[00:02:59] And the last words I heard that poor boy say

[00:03:02] My daddy was a steel driving man

[00:03:05] So every Monday morning

[00:03:07] When the blue dirds begin to sing

[00:03:08] You can hear John Henry a mile or more

[00:03:11] You can hear John Henry's hammer ring
