Luyện nghe bài hát John Henry

John Henry, when he was a
Settin' on his mammy's
Picked up an hammer in his right hand
Said, "Hammer be the of me, me, me
Hammer be the of me"

Some say he's in Texas
say he's born up in Maine
I say he was a Louisiana man
Leader of a chain gang
Leader on a gang

Well, the Captain said to John
"I'm gonna bring my steam drill
bring my steam drill out on the job
Gonna whup that steel on down, down,
Whup that on down"

Henry said to the Captain
(What he say?)
"You can bring your steam around
You can bring your drill out on the job
beat your steam drill down, down, down
Beat your steam down"

John Henry to his Shaker
"Shaker, you had pray
If you miss your six feet of
I'll be your day, day, day
I'll be your day"

Now, the Shaker said to Henry
(Yes sir)
"Man nothing but a man
(No he ain't)
But before I'd let that steam drill me down
(I him)
I'd die with an in my hand, hand, hand
(I him)
I'd die an hammer in my hand"

John Henry had a woman
Her name was Anne
John Henry sick and was laid up in bed
Polly handled steel like a man, man, man
Polly steel like a man

They took Henry to the graveyard
Laid him in the sand
locomotive comin' a-rolling by
Hollered, lies a steel-drivin' man, man, man
There lies a man
There lies a man, man, man
lies a steel-drivin' man
