Luyện nghe bài hát Legend Of John Henry's Hammer

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

Johnny pappy woke him up one midnight
He said "Before the sheriff comes I wanna tell you," "Listen boy
Learn to hoist a jack and to lay a track learn to pick and shovel too
And take that hammer, It'll do anything you 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 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, what all can muscles do?" and he said,
"I can hoist a I can lay a track I can pick 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 mighty 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 inch you sink it to
Go on and do you say you can do

With a steel-nosed hammer on a four foot switch
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 driving
Said "Sweat, boy! Sweat! two more swings!"
"I was born steel"

Well now John Henry hammered in the
He'd a grunt he give a groan every swing
The women-folks from miles around heard him and down
To watch the cold-steel ring "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 share of
Then what's all them muscles gonna do? Huh? John
Gonna take a bit of vinegar out of you."

Henry said, "I feed four little brothers
And baby sisters' walkin' on her
Now did the say that 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 steam?

John Henry said to his captain said "A man nothin' but a man
But if you'll bring that '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 a steel-drivin' man.

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

Two-thousand hollered, "Go John Henry!"
Then somebody hollered," The 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 people to move farther
I'm at the finish line and no drill
It's so far behind that it got the brains to quit it
When she blows up she'll scatter the hills Lord, Lord
When she up she'll scatter cross the hills"

Now, John Henry had a woman
I believe the lady's name was Paulie Ann yeah that was his good
John Henry threw his hammer over his shoulder and on home
next mornin' he said,
"Come here Ann, come here sugar.
Said you know I been laying here, watching that sun up
And I believe this is the first time 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 you swinging with that 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 of mourners at the church house
The section laid him in the sand
Trains go by on the John Henry laid.
slow down and take off the hats,
When they come to lynn retsina' his back.
They say,"Mornin' Steel-driver, you was a hammer-swinger."
Then go on by pickin' up a little bit of speed.

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