《John Henry》歌词

[00:00:00] John Henry - Odetta (欧蒂塔)

[00:00:05] John Henry was a little baby

[00:00:10] Sitting on his momma's knee

[00:00:14] Said The Big Bend Tunnel on the C O Road

[00:00:19] Is gonna be the death of me

[00:00:22] Lord

[00:00:24] Be the death of me

[00:00:28] When John Henry was a little baby

[00:00:33] Sitting on his poppa's knee

[00:00:37] He took a hammer a little piece of steel

[00:00:41] Said Hammer's gonna be the death of me

[00:00:43] Lord

[00:00:44] Lord

[00:00:45] Hammer's gonna be the death of me

[00:00:49] 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

[00:01:02] Just to hear his hammer when it swing

[00:01:05] Lord

[00:01:06] Just to hear his hammer when it swing

[00:01:10] And now the captain he says to John Henry

[00:01:14] I'm gonna bring that steam drill round

[00:01:18] I'm gonna bring that steam drill out on the job

[00:01:22] I'm gonna whop that steel on down

[00:01:30] John Henry said to his captain

[00:01:34] I know a man ain't nothing but a man

[00:01:37] But before i'll let your steam drill beat me down

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

[00:01:45] Lord

[00:01:45] I'll die with my hammer in my hand

[00:01:48] John Henry said to his shaker

[00:01:52] Shaker why don't you sing

[00:01:56] And now i'm throwing forty pounds

[00:01:58] From my hip on down

[00:01:59] Listen to the cold steel ring

[00:02:01] Lawdy

[00:02:02] Lawdy

[00:02:03] Listen to the cold steel ring

[00:02:06] John Henry said to his captain

[00:02:09] Looky yonder what i see

[00:02:13] Steam drill broke your hole done choke

[00:02:17] You can't drive steel like me

[00:02:19] Lord

[00:02:20] You can't drive steel like me

[00:02:23] John Henry a working on the mountain

[00:02:27] Hammer was a striking fire

[00:02:30] But he worked so hard it broke his poor heart

[00:02:34] He laid down his hammer and he died

[00:02:37] Lawdy

[00:02:38] He lad down his hammer and he died

[00:02:41] Now momma's gonna shoe my pretty little feet

[00:02:45] Poppy gonna glove my hand

[00:02:48] Sister gonna kiss my red ruby lips

[00:02:52] I don't need no man

[00:02:54] Lawdy

[00:02:55] Lawdy

[00:02:56] Not after my steel driving man

[00:02:58] Lawdy

[00:02:59] Lawdy

[00:03:00] Not after my steel driving man
