Luyện nghe bài hát Legend Of John Henry's Hammer

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

Johnny Henry's pappy woke him up one
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, It'll do you tell it to."

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

Then the foreman 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 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 spike and swing it down three 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 'til it touched his then
The spike went through the cross-tie and split it in two
Thirty-five cents a day for steel
"Sweat, boy! Sweat! Only two more swings!"
"I was born steel"

now John Henry hammered in the mountains
He'd give a he give a groan every swing
The women-folks from 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 John
He said, "You full of vinegar now but you through!
We gonna get a steam drill to do your share of
Then what's all them muscles gonna do? Huh? Henry?
Gonna take a bit of vinegar out of you."

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

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

There was a big crowd of at the mountain.
John Henry said to the steam-drill "How is
Said pardon me, Mister Steamdrill I suppose you hear me.
I how are you Huh?
Can you turn a Can you lay a track? Can you pick and shovel too?
Listen, this talkin' to you.

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

"Captain tell the 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 to quit it
When she up she'll scatter cross the hills Lord, Lord
she blows up she'll scatter cross 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 here Paulie Ann, come sugar.
Said you know I been laying here, watching sun come up
And I believe is the first time I've seen the sun come up
That I come up with it
He said, (dirty mind),
He said take that hammer, Paulie Ann and go to that
And when you with that lead 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 can that's 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 Henry laid.
slow down and take off the hats,
When come to whoreys lynn retsina' his back.
say,"Mornin' Steel-driver, you sure was a hammer-swinger."
Then they go on by up a little bit of speed.
Clickity

Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man lord

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

Yonder a steel-drivin'

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