John Henry歌词完整版
When John Henry was a little baby
Sitting on his daddy's knee
Pointed he figured out a little piece of steel
Steel's gonna be the death of me Lord Lord
Steel's gonna be the death of me
Well now steel's gonna be the death of me Lord Lord
Steel's gonna be the death of me
John Henry told his captain one day
'A man ain't nothin' but a man
Before I will let you steam drill beat me down
Would die with this hammer in my hand Lord Lord'
Die with this hammer in my hand
I would die with this hammer in my hand Lord Lord
Die with this hammer in my hand
John Henry had a little woman
Her name was Polly Ann
John Henry got sick and had to go to bed
You know Polly she drove steel like a man Lord Lord
Polly she drove steel like a man
How she drive John Henry drivin' on the right hand side
Steam drill drivin' on the left
Before I will let your steam drill beat me down
I will drive my poor self to death Lord Lord
Drive my poor self to death
John Henry drove steel on the Southern
He drove steel on the C&O
He drove steel for that Big Ben Tunnel
Steel drivin' kill John you know steel drivin' kill John you know
Well now steel drivin' kill John you know Lord Lord
Steel drivin' kill John you know
Some says John Henry was born in Texas
Some people thinks he was born in Maine
John Henry was born down in Tennessee
He was a leader of a steel-driving-gang Lord Lord
Leader of a steel-driving-gang
Was a leader of a steel-driving-gang Lord Lord
Leader of a steel-driving-gang
Well the captain loved to see John Henry
One of all loved to hear him sing
But most of all that the paymaster loved
He just loved to get John Henry's hammer ring
He just loved to get John Henry's hammer ring
He just loved to get John Henry's hammer ring Lord Lord
Loved to get John Henry's hammer ring
They carried John Henry on the mountain
Upon a mountain so high
Last words I heard that poor boy say
Give me a cool drink of water 'fore I die
Give me a cool drink of water 'fore I die
Give me a cool drink of water 'fore I die
Well they carried John Henry's body to the White-house
And they laid it in the sand
Every time a locomotive follows go rollin' by
They say yonder lays a steel-drivin' man
Well now yonder lays a steel-drivin' man
They say yonder lays a steel-drivin' man
Yonder lays a steel-drivin' man
