John Henry lyrics
When john henry was a little baby
Sittin on his mamas knee Well he picked up a feather and a piece of steel And said thats gonna be the death of me Lord, lord, lord thats gonna be the death of me Well john henry had a little woman Name of polly ann Well john got sick had to lay down on the bed Polly drove steel like a man Lord, lord, lord, polly drove steel like a man Well john henry went up on the mountain Well the mountain was sinkin in He said come on captain I know what Im doin It aint nothin but my hammer suckin wind Lord, lord, lord, it aint nothin but my hammer suckin wind Well john henry went up on the mountain Lord the mountain was so high He said were gonna shake this steel drivin down Give me a cool drink of water before I die Give me a cool drink of water before I die Some say he came from england Some say he came from spain But john henry was nothin but a louisiana man And he died with his hammer in his hand Lord, lord, lord, he died with his hammer in his hand Steel drivin man, he died with his hammer in his hand Lord aint nothin but my hammer suckin wind etc. etc.
