Lemme do Henry then and we'll go...

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

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

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

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

He said to get a rusted spike and it down 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 hammer on a four foot switch handle
John raised it back 'til it touched his heels then
The went through the cross-tie and split it half in two
Thirty-five cents a day for steel
Said "Sweat, boy! Sweat! two more swings!"
"I was born steel"

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

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

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

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

was a big crowd of people at the mountain.
John said to the steam-drill "How is you?
Said pardon me, Mister Steamdrill I you didn't hear me.
I how are you Huh?
Can you turn a jack? Can you lay a Can you pick and shovel too?
Listen, this hammer-swinger's to you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yonder a steel-drivin'

Thank you much
You know John Honey was a real man. He worked on a tunnel in Virginia
Digin' a tunnel for the San railroad.
And he was a big man they say
