lirik lagu john henry – john cephas and phil wiggins
john henry was a little boy,
‘bigger than the palm of your hand,
‘time that boy, he was nine years old
driving spikes like a man
driving spikes like a man
john henry was a little boy,
sitting on his mammy’s knee
he picked up a hammer and a little bit of steel:
“hammer’s gonna be the death of me,
hammer’s gonna be the death of me.”
john henry said to the captain, yeah,
“man, you ought to see me swing?
love to hear the cold steel ring,
love to hear the cold steel ring.”
john henry said to the captain, yeah,
“a man ain’t nothing but a man,
but before i let the steam drill beat me down,
i’m gonna die with this hammer in my hand,
die with this hammer in my hand.”
john henry went to that tunnel to drive,
steam drill was by his side,
he beat that steam drill three inches and down,
he laid down his hammer, lord, he died,
laid down a hammer, lord, he died.
captain said to john henry, yeah,
“this mountain is caving in,”
john henry said, “oh captain, yeah,
‘just my hammer sucking wind,
‘just my hammer sucking wind.”
they took john henry to the graveyard,
buried him six feet in the sand,
‘time a locomotive p-ssed by,
says, “there lies a steel driving man,
there lies a steel driving man.
there lies a steel driving man.
there lies a steel driving man.”
