Luyện nghe bài hát Legend Of John Henry's Hammer

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

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

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

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

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

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

With a steel-nosed hammer on a four foot handle
John Henry raised it back it touched his heels then
The went through the cross-tie and split it half in two
Thirty-five a day for driving steel
Said "Sweat, boy! Sweat! Only two swings!"
"I was drivin' steel"

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

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

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

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

There was a big of people at the mountain.
Henry said to the steam-drill "How is you?
Said pardon me, Mister Steamdrill I suppose you 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 hollered, "Go John Henry!"
Then somebody hollered," The mountain's in!"
John told 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 the people to move back farther
I'm at the finish and ain't no drill
It's so far behind that it don't got the brains to it
When she blows up she'll cross the hills Lord, Lord
she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills"

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

There was a big crowd of mourners at the house
The section laid him in the sand
Trains go by on the rails John laid.
They slow 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

You John Honey was a real man. He worked on a tunnel in West Virginia
Digin' a for the San Jose railroad.
