John Henry - Lilly Brothers/Don Stover
John Henry he was a little baby boy
No bigger than the palm of your hand
His mammy looked down at John Henry and said
Johnny gonna be a steel driving man lord lord
Johnny gonna be a steel driving man
John Henry he said to his captain
Captain you going into town
Bring me back a nine pound hammer
For I want to see that railroad down lord lord
I want to see that railroad down
John Henry said to his shaker
Shaker you better pray
For if I miss that little piece of steel
Tomorrow will be your dying day lord lord
Tomorrow be your dying day
John Henry went up on the mountain
He looked down on the other side
The mountain was so tall
John Henry was so small
He laid down his hammer and he cried lord lord
He laid down his hammer and he cried
John Henry he had a purty little woman
Her name was Polly Ann
John Henry took sick and had to go to bed
Polly drove the steel like a man lord lord
Polly drove the steel like a man
