Luyện nghe bài hát Legend Of John Henry's Hammer

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

Johnny pappy woke him up one midnight
He said "Before the sheriff I wanna tell you," Said "Listen boy
to hoist a jack 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 mammy had a dozen babies
John Henry's pappy jail about a dozen times
The all got sick and when the doctor wanted money
He said, "I'll pay you a at a time starting tomorrow
That's the pay for a driver on this line."

Then the foreman said, "Hey! Hammer-swinger!
I see you your own hammer boy but, what all can muscles do?" and he said,
"I can hoist a jack I can lay a I can pick and shovel too."
He said "Can you swing a hammer" He said "do anything you 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 it down three times
Pay you a nickel a day for every you sink it to
Go on and do you say you can do

With a steel-nosed on a four foot switch handle
John Henry raised it back 'til it touched his then
The spike went through the cross-tie and it half 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 grunt he give a groan swing
The from miles around heard him and come down
To watch the cold-steel ring "Lord! What a swinger!
Watch him make the ring"

But the bad came 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 muscles gonna do? Huh? John Henry?
take a little bit of vinegar out of you."

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

John said to his captain said "A man ain't nothin' but a man
But if you'll bring that steamdrill 'round 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.

There was a big crowd of at the mountain.
John 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 a jack? Can you lay a track? Can you pick and shovel too?
Listen, hammer-swinger's talkin' to you.

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

"Captain tell the people to move 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 blows up she'll cross the hills Lord, Lord
When she blows up she'll scatter the hills"

Now, John Henry had a little
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, here sugar.
Said you I been laying here, watching that sun come up
And I believe this is the first time I've the sun come up
That I couldn't up with it
He said, (dirty mind),
He said take that hammer, Paulie Ann and go to railroad
And when you swinging with that 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.
Ain't no 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 John Henry laid.
slow down and take off the hats,
When they come to whoreys retsina' his back.
say,"Mornin' Steel-driver, you sure was a hammer-swinger."
Then go on by pickin' up a little bit of speed.
Clickity

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

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

Yonder a steel-drivin'

Thank you much
You know John Honey was a man. He worked on a tunnel in West Virginia
Digin' a tunnel for the San 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 that's a long
