Luyện nghe bài hát More About John Henry

{The Storytellers and I were a show down in Meridian, Mississippi
And friends of mine came up
And brought me real old book about John Henry
And they told me if let me read this old book
I'd probably write a about it
And they did and I did and I called it 'More John Henry'}

First of all John Henry was a man
He was born where the sun ever shine
He was six feet tall he know his own strength
But he did not swing the hammer all the
Of course he didn't, John Henry had some women on his

There was a woman cross the street named Poor
Loved Henry like a natural man
John Henry quit Poor just like he was quittin' work
He that stinger-ree of Julie Anne
And what is it a is somethin' else you understand

There was a man named Stacker Lee in
A little man a big 44
You know he his woman down and took a shot at Poor Selma
But old won't be shootin' anymore
He had to quit it, John Henry laid him dead on the

John Henry threw Stacker Lee in the
he said, "I've got a say so to say"
He broke out in a song that was wrote by Leonard
He said, "Julie Anne, I'm my say"
He said, "I you but I do not like your lowdown ways"

Well John Henry to a conjurin' woman
Said, "This ain't no way to live"
Somebody's back door creeping on my pretty Julie
Conjure had a say so to give
She said, "John Henry", she said, "That's just the way is"

Well John went to a Hell bustin' man
Said, "I'm deep in my soul"
Well that Hell buster John Henry's sins away
And they tell me the thunder did roll
Sweet Jesus a frightenin' sight to behold

From day on John Henry was a changed man
All he did was just all the time
he worked till the muscles in his body gave out
Then he kept right on a workin' in his
do it 'cause a man ain't supposed to work all the time

Julie Anne said, "John Henry I you"
Poor said, "John Henry you're my man"
Ruby said, "I'm gonna cook ye up some greens and lean meat
With bread in a four foot pan with lotsa cracklins
But John Henry was a kinda man

they allow that hard work killed John Henry
I'm leave that allowin' up to you
was he killed by hard work or was he killed by bad women
Be that this ain't happenin' to you
Quit working when day's work work is through

'Cause a man ain't supposed to work all the
And you know ain't just the way the things is
A stinger-ree is somethin' you understand
Quit working your your day's work is through
God you
