When John Henry was a little baby
He was seting on his man on desis
Well he stuck on his hand and
He grap the beat of steel
Say it's gonna be the dead of me
It's gonna be the dead of me
John Henry said to his Kevin
Where the man in nothing for that man
And the flow out let the steam beat me down
I will die with this hammer in my hand
Well I will die with this hammer in my hand
John Henry said to his shaker
Well my shaker while don't you sent
'Cause I am throwing 9 pound from my hips on down
Just listen to the coal steel rain
Boy just listen to the coal steel rain
John Henry said to his shaker
Well my shaker what don't you pray
'Cause my hammer miss it little piece of steel
Tomorrow be your bear in did
Well be your bear in did
Some said he was born in Texas
Some said he was born in main
But I don't give a d*mn where the poor boy was born
He was a steel driving man
Not now he was a steel driving man
Then the captain said John Henry
I believe the modern seak in it
John Henry laugh at his captain and said
It ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wain
It ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wain
Took John Henry to the graveyard and they burry him
In the sand yes and every local motor come rolling by
Said bail needs a steel driving man
Not now bail needs a steel driving man
