I'm shakin' 12 pounds from my hips on down Man don't you hear that cold steel Now don't you hear that cold steel ring? Now don't you hear that cold steel Now don't you hear that cold steel ring? John Henry went down that railroad track With a 12 pound hammer by his side Yes, he went down the track but he never came back Because he laid down his hammer and he Yes he laid down his hammer and he died Because he laid down his hammer and he Yes he laid down his hammer and he died John Henry hammered in the mountain And the mountain was so high And the last words that I heard that poor boy say "Will you gimme a cool drink of water before I Gimme a cool drink of water before I die Gimme a cool drink of water before I Gimme a cool drink of water before I die John Henry had a little woman And the dress that she wore was red And the last words that I heard that little girl say She said, "I'm goin' to where John Henry fell dead Yes, I'm goin' to where John Henry fell dead Yes, I'm goin' to where John Henry fell Yes, I'm goin' to where John Henry fell dead John Henry was a little baby boy And he held him in the palm of his hand And the last thing that I know that poor boy say I'm gonna be a steel driving man I'm gonna be a steel driving man Gonna be a steel driving man
