Luyện nghe bài hát Legend Of John Henry's Hammer

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

Johnny Henry's woke him up one midnight
He said "Before the sheriff comes I wanna 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 had about a dozen babies
John Henry's pappy broke jail 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
the pay for a steel driver on this line."

Then the section said, "Hey! Hammer-swinger!
I see you your own hammer boy but, all can them muscles do?" and he said,
"I can hoist a I can lay a track I can pick and shovel too."
He said "Can you swing a hammer" He said "do anything you me to."

"Now ain't you something! So high and mighty with all muscle!"
Go ahead, boy. Pick up that hammer, and 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 steel-nosed hammer on a four switch handle
John Henry raised it back 'til it 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 drivin' steel"

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

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

John said, "I feed four little brothers
And baby walkin' on her knees
Now did the Lord say that machines ought to take place of the
And what's a 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 that steamdrill 'round I'll beat it fair and honest.
I'll die with hammer in my hand 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 said how are you
Can you a jack? Can you lay a track? Can you pick and shovel too?
Listen, hammer-swinger's talkin' to you.

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

"Captain tell the to move back 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 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 yeah that was his good
John 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 that sun up
And I believe this is the first time I've seen the sun up
That I come up with it
He said, (dirty mind),
He take that hammer, Paulie Ann and go to that railroad
And when you with that lead man
You em that's not all I can do. Tell em,
I can hoist a jack and I can lay a I can pick and shovel too.
Ain't no machine can that's proved to you!

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

Yonder lies a man

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

Yonder lies a
