John Henry-Harry Belafonte
John Henry he could hammer,
He could whistle, he could sing
He went to the mountain early in the mornin'
Just to hear his hammer ring, Lord, Lord
Just to hear his hammer ring.
Just to hear his hammer ring, Lord, Lord
Just to hear his hammer ring.
When John Henry was a little baby,
Sittin' on his daddy's knee
He picked up a hammer, a little piece of steel,
Said hammer be the death of me, Lord, Lord
Said hammer be the death of me
Said hammer be the death of me, Lord, Lord
Said hammer be the death of me
When John Henry's fam'ly needed money,
Said he didn't have but a dime
If you wait 'til the red sun goes down
I'll get it from the man in the mine, Lord, Lord
I'll get it from the man in the mine
I'll get it from the man in the mine, Lord, Lord
I'll get it from the man in the mine
Well John Henry went to the Captain
Said the captain, what can you do
I can hoist a jack, I can lay a track
I can pick and shovel too, Lord, Lord
I can pick and shovel too
I can pick and shovel too, Lord, Lord
I can pick and shovel too
Well John Henry said to the captain,
Oh a man ain't nothin' but a man
'Fore I'd let your steam drill beat me down,
Die I'd with my hammer in my hand, Lord, Lord Die with my hammer in my hand
I'd die with my hammer in my hand, Lord, Lord Die with my hammer in my hand
Well the captain said to John Henry,
Gonna bring me a steam drill 'round
Gonna bring a me steam drill out on the job
Gonna whup that steel on down, Lord, Lord Whup that steel on down
Gonna whup that steel on down, Lord, Lord Whup that steel on down
Shaker why don't you sing,
I'm throwin' twelve pounds from my hips on down,
Just listen to the cold steel ring, lord lord Just listen to the cold steel ring,
Just listen to the cold steel ring, lord lord Just listen to the cold steel ring,
The man that invented the steamdrill,
Thought he was mighty fine,
John Henry made his fifteen feet,
Steamdrill The only made nine, lord lord The steamdrill only made nine,
The steamdrill only made nine, lord lord The steamdrill only made nine,
Well the Captain says to John Henry
I believe this mountains cavin' in
John Henry said the to Captain,
'Tain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind, lord lord 'Tain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind,
'Tain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind, lord lord 'Tain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind,
Well John Henry said to the captain,
Looka yonder what I see,
Hole done choke, drill done broke,
And you can't drive steel like me, Lord, Lord
Can't drive steel like me
Oh no, you can't drive steel like me, no no
Can't drive steel like me
Well John Henry drove into the mountain,
His hammer was strikin' fire
He drove so hard he broke his poor heart
And he laid down his hammer and he died, Lord, Lord And he laid down his hammer and he died,
And he laid down his hammer and he died, Lord, Lord And he laid down his hammer and he died,
Well John Henry had a little woman,
And her name was Polly Ann
She walked down the tract
There they looked back
Polly ann drove steel like a man, Lord, Lord polly ann drove steel like a man,
Polly ann drove steel like a man, Lord, Lord polly ann drove steel like a man,
Oh they took John Henry to the White House
And they buried him in the sand
Every locomotive come roarin' by
Says there lies a steel drivin' man, Lord, Lord there lies a steel drivin' man,
Says there lies a steel drivin' man, Lord, Lord there lies a steel drivin' man,
Says there lies a steel drivin' man, Lord, Lord there lies a steel drivin' man,
