John Henry was just a little bitty boy
No bigger than the palm of your hand His mammy looked down at John Henry and say Johnny you're gonna be a steal drivin' man Lord lord Johnny you're gonna be a steal drivin' man John Henry he said to his Captain Captain I wanna hear you sing I'll swing forty-nine pounds from my hips on down I like to hear that cold steel ring Lord Lord I like to hear that cold steel ring [ guitar ] John Henry had a little woman and her name was Polly Ann John Henry he got sick and he had to go to bed But Polly drove the steel like a man Lord Lord Polly drove the steel like a man John Henry went to the tunnel to drive steam hammer by his side Well he beat that drill till the end of the tunnel Laid down his hammer and he cried Lord Lord laid down his hammer and he cried [ guitar - steel ] John Henry drove the steel on that mountain till his hammer caught on fire And the last words we heard John Henry say Cool drink of water before I die Lord Lord a cool drink of water before I die Well they took John Henry to the graveyard stuck him six feet under the sand Everytime the freight train that go puffin' by They say there lies a steel drivin' man Lord Lord yonder lies a steel drivin' man |
