John Henry (Live)

歌詞

John Henry was a little bitty boy Sittin' on his mammy's knee He looked at the hammer a'sittin' by the wall Said that hammer be the death of me Lord Lord That hammer be the death of me John Henery said to his captain That a man was a natural man Well before he would let that steam drill running down He'd die with the hammer in his hand Lord Lord He'd die with the hammer in his hand John Henry he went up on the mountain Well the mountain it was so high And the last words I heard that poor boy say Give me drink of water before I die Lord Lord Give me a drink of water before I die John Henry he had a little woman Well the dress she wore was blue Well the last words that old gal say John Henry I've been true to you Lord Lord John Henry I've been true to you John Henry he had another woman Well the dress she wore was red Well the last words that old gal say I'mma going where my man fell dead Lord Lord I'mma going where my man fell dead Well they took John Henry to the railroad track They buried him under the sand When the men passed by on the freight train that day Said there lies a steel driving man Lord Lord There lies a steel driving man
