John Henry (约翰·亨利) - Lonnie Donegan
Well Jogn Henry told his little woman
Honey cook my supper soon
I've got ninety miles of track
I'm going to line
Gonna line them
By the light of the moon
No no
Gonna line them
By the light of the moon
John Henry was a steel driver
He was the best in the land
And he'd die
With his hammer in his hand
I'll tell you all about him now
Oh John Henry told his captain
Know a man ain't nothing but a man
But before I let your
Steam drill beat me down
Gonna die with the hammer in my hand
No no
Gonna die with the hammer in my hand
Oh John Henry told his captain
Know a man ain't nothing but a man
But before I let your
Steam drill beat me down
Gonna die with the hammer in my hand
No no
Gonna die with the hammer in my hand
Oh John Henry had new woman
And the dress that she wore was red
Oh she studied the track lord
She never looked back
I'm going where John Henry lies dead
No no
Going where John Henry lies dead
Ah John Henry went down to Washington
And they buried him in the sand
And the people from the east
And people from the west
Ain't seen such a steel driving man
Yeah no
Ain't seen such a steel driving man
But if some say he's from England
And some say he's from France
No he's nothing but a Louisiana man
A leader of the steel driving gang
No no
A leader of the steel driving gang
