Lyrics
John Henry said to his captain, " A man ain't nothing but a man;
Before I let your steam drill beat me down,
I will die with that hammer in my hand,
Yes I'll die with that hammer in my hand,
Yes I'll die with that hammer in my hand, lord, lord,
Die with that hammer in my hand."
John Henry said to his shaker, "Well man, why don't you sing?"
"I'm shaking twelve pounds from my hip on down.
Don't you hear that cold steel?
Why don't you hear that cold steel ring?
Why don't you hear that cold steel?
Why don't you hear that cold steel ring?
John Henry went down that railroad track with his twelve pound hammer by his side.
Yes he went down the track, but he never came back,
'Cos he laid down his hammer and,
Yes he laid down his hammer and he died,
He laid down his hammer and,
Yes he laid down his hammer and he died.
John Henry hammered in the mountain,
The mountain was so high;
The last word that I heard that poor boy say:
"Give me a cool drink of water before I,
Give me a cool drink of water before I die,
Give me a cool drink of water before I,
Give me a cool drink of water before I die."
John Henry had a little woman,
And that dress that she wore was red,
And the last word that I heard that little girl said,
She said, "I'm going where John Henry fell dead,
Yes, I'm going where John Henry fell dead;
I'm going where John Henry fell;
Yes, I'm going where John Henry fell dead.
John Henry was a little baby boy,
And he held him in the palm of his hand,
And that last thing that I heard that poor boy say:
"I'm going to be a steel-driving man;
I'm going to be a little steel-driving man;
I'm going to be a steel-driving man."
