Luyện nghe bài hát Legend Of John Henry's Hammer

Anybody got any requests for us to do
Henry?
Lemme do John Henry then and go...

Johnny 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 that hammer, do anything you tell it to."

John Henry's mammy had about a dozen
John Henry's broke jail about a dozen times
The all got sick and when the doctor wanted money
He said, "I'll pay you a quarter at a time tomorrow
That's the pay for a steel driver on 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 I can pick and shovel too."
He "Can you swing a hammer" He said "do anything you hire me to."

"Now you something! So high and mighty with all that muscle!"
Go ahead, boy. up that hammer, and show me what you can do!"

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

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

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

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

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

John Henry said to his captain said "A man nothin' but a man
But if you'll bring steamdrill 'round I'll beat it fair and honest.
I'll die with that hammer in my hand but, 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 I suppose you didn't hear me.
I how are you Huh?
Can you turn a Can you lay a track? 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 Henry the captin, "Tell the kind-folks not to worry
It ain't nothin' but my suckin' wind, it keeps me breathin'
steel-driver's muscle it ain't thin.

"Captain tell the people to back farther
I'm at the finish line and no drill
It's so far behind it don't got the brains 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 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 shoulder and went on
next mornin' he said,
"Come Paulie Ann, come here sugar.
Said you know I been laying here, watching that sun up
And I believe this is the time I've seen the sun come up
That I couldn't come up it
He said, (dirty mind),
He said take that hammer, Paulie Ann and go to railroad
And when you swinging with lead man
You tell em not all I can do. Tell em,
I can hoist a jack and I can lay a I can pick and shovel too.
no machine can that's been proved to you!

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

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

Yonder lies a man lord lord
Yonder lies a man

Yonder lies a

Thank you much
You know John Honey was a real man. He worked on a in West Virginia
Digin' a for the San Jose railroad.
And he was a big man they say
That from his heels, on around to the he had a stroke of 19 feet
Boy that's a stroke. Wooo that's a long stroke
