John Henry Blues

歌詞

John Henry was a little boy, sat on his father's knee Picked up a hammer and a piece of steel All be the death of me, all the death of me Hohn Henry went up on the mountain, and down on the other side Mountain was tall John Henry was small Put down his hammer and he cried put down his hammer and he cried When they bought that new steam train was looking so fine John Henry made fourteen feet and steam train only made nine Steam train only made nine John Henry said to his captain I ain't nothing but a man Before I let that steam train beat me down I'll die with my hammer in my hand die with my hammer in my hand John Henry got sick and he had to go home This is what he said Fix me a place I wanna lay down Got a lot rolling in my head a lot rolling in my head John Henry had a little woman, her name was Polly Anne John Henry got sick and had to go home And Polly drove steel like a man, Polly drove steel like a man Where did you get them shoes you wear Your drees's look so fine got my shoes from a railroad man Best steel driver on the line, best former driver on the line
