Luyện nghe bài hát Legend Of John Henry's Hammer

Anybody got any special for us to do
John
Lemme do John Henry and we'll go...

Henry's pappy woke him up one midnight
He said "Before the sheriff comes I wanna you," Said "Listen boy
Learn to hoist a and learn to lay a track learn to pick and shovel too
And take that hammer, do anything you tell it to."

John Henry's mammy had about a babies
John Henry's pappy jail about a dozen times
The all got sick and when the doctor wanted money
He said, "I'll pay you a at a time starting tomorrow
That's the pay for a driver on this line."

the section foreman said, "Hey! Hammer-swinger!
I see you your own hammer boy but, what all can them do?" and he said,
"I can a jack I can lay a track I can pick and shovel too."
He said "Can you swing a hammer" He said "do you hire me to."

"Now ain't you something! So high and with all that muscle!"
Go ahead, boy. Pick up that hammer, and me what you can do!"

He said to get a rusted spike and swing it three times
Pay you a nickel a day for every you sink it to
Go on and do you say you can do

With a steel-nosed on a four foot switch handle
Henry raised it back 'til it touched his heels then
The spike went the cross-tie and split it half in two
Thirty-five cents a day for driving
"Sweat, boy! Sweat! Only two more swings!"
"I was born steel"

Well now John hammered in the mountains
He'd give a grunt he give a groan every
The women-folks from miles heard him and come down
To watch make the cold-steel ring "Lord! a swinger!
Watch him make the ring"

But the bad boss came up at John Henry
He said, "You of vinegar now but you bout' through!
We gonna get a steam drill to do your of drivin'
Then what's all them muscles gonna do? Huh? Henry?
Gonna take a bit of vinegar out of you."

John said, "I feed four little brothers
And sisters' walkin' on her knees
Now did the Lord say that machines ought to take of the livin'?
And what's a for bread and beans? I ain't seen it!
Do get rewarded for their steam?

John Henry said to his said "A man ain't nothin' but a man
But if you'll bring that steamdrill I'll beat it fair and honest.
I'll die with that hammer in my but, I'll be laughin',
Cause you can't replace a man.

There was a big of people at the mountain.
John Henry said to the "How is you?
Said pardon me, Steamdrill I suppose you didn't hear me.
I said how are you
Can you turn a jack? Can you lay a track? Can you and shovel too?
Listen, hammer-swinger's talkin' to you.

people hollered, "Go John Henry!"
Then hollered," The mountain's cavin' in!"
John Henry told the captin, "Tell the kind-folks not to
It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind, it me breathin'
This steel-driver's it ain't thin.

"Captain tell the people to back farther
I'm at the line and ain't no drill
It's so far behind that it don't got the to quit it
When she blows up she'll cross the hills Lord, Lord
When she blows up she'll scatter the hills"

Now, John Henry had a woman
I believe the lady's name was Paulie Ann yeah that was his woman
John Henry threw his hammer over his shoulder and went on
Early mornin' he said,
"Come here Paulie Ann, come sugar.
Said you know I laying here, watching that sun come up
And I this is the first time I've seen the sun come up
That I couldn't come up it
He said, (dirty mind),
He said that hammer, Paulie Ann and go to that railroad
And when you swinging with that man
You tell em not all I can do. Tell em,
I can hoist a jack and I can lay a track I can and shovel too.
no machine can that's been proved to you!

There was a big crowd of mourners at the church
The section laid him in the sand
Trains go by on the rails Henry laid.
They down and take off the hats,
they come to whoreys lynn retsina' his back.
They say,"Mornin' Steel-driver, you was a hammer-swinger."
Then they go on by up a little bit of speed.
clack

Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man lord
Yonder lies a man

Yonder a steel-drivin' man lord lord
lies a steel-drivin' man

Yonder lies a

Thank you very
You know John Honey was a real man. He on a tunnel in West Virginia
