Luyện nghe bài hát Legend Of John Henry's Hammer

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

Henry's pappy woke him up one midnight
He said "Before the sheriff comes I wanna tell you," "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."

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

Then the 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 and shovel too."
He said "Can you swing a hammer" He "do anything you hire me to."

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

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

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

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

But the bad boss up laughin' at John Henry
He said, "You full of vinegar now but you through!
We gonna get a drill to do your share 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 four little brothers
And baby sisters' on her knees
Now did the Lord say that ought to take place of the livin'?
And what's a substitute for and beans? I ain't seen it!
Do get rewarded for their steam?

Henry said 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 hammer in my but, I'll be laughin',
Cause you replace a steel-drivin' man.

was a big crowd of people at the mountain.
John Henry said to the "How is you?
Said pardon me, Mister 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Yonder lies a man lord lord
Yonder lies a man

Yonder a steel-drivin'
