[00:00:00] John Henry (约翰·亨利) - Odetta (欧蒂塔)

[00:00:04] John Henry was a little baby

[00:00:09] Sitting on his momma's knee

[00:00:13] Said The Big Bend Tunnel on the C O Road

[00:00:18] Is gonna be the death of me

[00:00:21] Lord Is gonna

[00:00:23] Be the death of me

[00:00:27] When John Henry was a little baby

[00:00:32] Sitting on his poppa's knee

[00:00:36] He took a hammer a little piece of steel

[00:00:40] 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

[00:00:48] John Henry had a little woman

[00:00:53] Her name was Mary Magdalene

[00:00:57] Every day she would sing for John Henry

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

[00:01:04] Lord

[00:01:05] Just to hear his hammer when it swing

[00:01:09] And now the captain he says to John Henry

[00:01:13] I'm gonna bring that steam drill round

[00:01:17] I'm gonna bring that steam

[00:01:20] Drill out on the job

[00:01:21] I'm gonna whop that steel on down

[00:01:33] I know a man ain't nothing but a man

[00:01:37] But before

[00:01:41] I'll die with my hammer in my hand

[00:01:43] Lord

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

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

[00:01:51] Shaker why don't you sing

[00:01:55] And now i'm throwing forty pounds

[00:01:57] From my hip on down

[00:01:58] Listen to the cold steel ring

[00:02:16] You can't drive steel like me

[00:02:18] Lord

[00:02:40] Now momma's gonna shoe my pretty little feet
