John Henry歌词完整版
John henry told his captain
That a man was nothin apos
But a man
Before he apos
D let that steam drill run him down
He fought it with his hammer in his hand
Fought it with his hammer in his hand
The captain said to john henry
Gonna bring me a steam drill round
Gonna bring that steam drill out on the job
Gonna whoop that steel on down
Gonna whoop that steel on down
The captain said to his shaker
Shaker why don apos
T you sing
I apos
M throwing twelve pounds from the hips on down
Just listen to that cold steel ring
Listen to that cold steel ring
The captain said to john henry
I think this mountain apos
S cavin apos
In
John henry gave one long and lonesome cry said
That apos
S only my hammer suckin apos
Wind
That apos
S only my hammer suckin apos
Wind
John henry had a little woman
Her name was polly ann
When john henry was sick and a layin apos
In bed
Polly drove steel like a man
Polly drove steel like a man
Where did you get that dress gal
Where did you get those shoes so fine
I got that dress from off a railroad man
And the shoes from a driver in the mine
And shoes from a driver in the mine
John henry went down to the railroad
With the twelve pound hammer by his side
He walked down the track but he didn apos
T come back
Cos he laid down his hammer and he died
He laid down his hammer and he died
