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 comes I wanna you," Said "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 you tell it to."

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

the section foreman said, "Hey! Hammer-swinger!
I see you own hammer 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 with all that muscle!"
Go ahead, boy. Pick up hammer, and show me what you can do!"

He to get a rusted spike and swing 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 hammer on a four foot handle
Henry raised it back 'til it touched his heels then
The spike went through the and split it half in two
cents a day for driving steel
Said "Sweat, boy! Sweat! two more swings!"
"I was born steel"

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

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

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

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

There was a big of people at the mountain.
Henry said to the steam-drill "How is you?
Said pardon me, Mister Steamdrill I suppose you didn't me.
I said how are you
Can you turn a Can you lay a track? Can you pick and shovel too?
Listen, this hammer-swinger's to you.

Two-thousand people hollered, "Go Henry!"
Then somebody hollered," The mountain's 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 steel-driver's it ain't thin.

"Captain tell the people to 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 blows up she'll scatter cross the Lord, Lord
she blows 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 threw his hammer over his shoulder and went on home
next mornin' he said,
"Come Paulie Ann, come here 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 couldn't come up it
He said, (dirty mind),
He said take that hammer, Ann and go to that railroad
And when you swinging that lead man
You tell em that's not all I can do. em,
I can a jack and I can lay a track I can pick and shovel too.
Ain't no machine can that's proved to you!

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