John Henry (Remaster) - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里)/The Almanac Singers
John Henry when he was a baby
Settin' on his mammy's knee
Picked up an hammer in his little right hand
Said hammer be the death of me me me
Hammer be the death of me
Said hammer be the death of me me me
Hammer be the death of me
Well some say he's born out in Texas
Some say he's born up in Maine
I just say he was a Louisiana man
Leader of a steel driving chain gang
Leader on a steel driving gang
Leader of a steel driving chain gang
Leader on a steel driving gang
Well the captain said to John Henry
What to say I'm gonna bring my steam drill around
Gonna bring my steam drill out on the job
Gonna whup that steel on down down down
Whup that steel on down
Gonna whup that steel on down down down
Whup that steel on down
John Henry said to the captain
What he say
Bring your steam drill around
You can bring your steam drill out on the job
I'll beat your steam drill down down down
Beat your steam drill down
I'll beat your steam drill down down down
Beat your steam drill down
John Henry said to his shaker
Shaker you had better pray
If you miss your six feet of steel
I'll be your buryin' day day day
I'll be your buryin' day
Now the shaker said to John Henry
Well man ain't nothing but a man
I'm throwin' a hundred pound from my hips on down
Doing all that any man can can can
Doing all that any man can
Doing all that any man can can can
Doing all that any man can
