[00:00:20] John Henry said to his captain

[00:00:24] A man ain't nothin' but a man

[00:00:28] Before I let your steel drill beat me down

[00:00:32] I will die with a hammer in my hand

[00:00:35] I will die with a hammer in my hand

[00:00:39] I will die with a hammer in my hand

[00:00:43] Die with a hammer in my hand

[00:00:47] John Henry said to his shaker

[00:00:51] Now man why don't you sing

[00:00:55] I'm shakin' 12 pounds from my hips on down

[00:00:58] Now don't you hear that cold steel

[00:01:02] Now don't you hear that cold steel ring

[00:01:06] I don't you hear that cold steel ring

[00:01:09] Now don't you hear that cold steel ring

[00:01:32] John Henry went down that railroad track

[00:01:36] With a 12 pound hammer by his side

[00:01:40] Yes he went down the track but he never came back

[00:01:43] Because he laid down his hammer and he

[00:02:02] And the mountain was so high

[00:02:06] And the last words that I heard that poor boy say

[00:02:10] Gimme a cool drink of water before I

[00:02:13] Gimme a cool drink of water before I die

[00:02:25] John Henry had a little woman

[00:02:29] And the dress that she wore was red

[00:02:33] And the last words that I heard that little girl say

[00:02:36] She said

[00:02:36] I'm going to where John Henry fell dead

[00:02:44] I'm going to where John Henry fell dead

[00:02:47] Yes I'm going to where John Henry fell dead

[00:02:51] John Henry was a little baby boy

[00:02:55] And he held him in the palm of his hand

[00:02:59] And the last thing that I know that poor boy say

[00:03:03] I'm gonna be a steel driving man

[00:03:06] I'm gonna be a steel driving man

[00:03:10] I'm gonna be a steel driving man
