Luyện nghe bài hát The Day John Henry Died

I watched the rain it settled in we disappeared for again
Most of us were in, lazy like the sky
The letters flew across the wire through a million liars
The whole smelled like burning tires the day John Henry died

We knew about that big machine that ran on hope and steam
Bets on John were far between and mostly on the
We heard he put up quite a fight his hands and feet turned snowy
hammer rang out through the night the day John Henry died

When John Henry was a little bitty
Nobody taught him how to read
But he knew the way to hold a hammer
Was the way the railroad baron the deed

It didn't if he won, if he lived, or if he'd run
They changed the way his job was done, labor costs were
That new machine was cheap as and only John would work as well
So they left him where he fell the day John Henry died

John Henry was a steel-driving
But John was a bastard just the same
An never thinks about his daddy
And an engine never needs to write its

So pack your bags, we're west and L.A. ain't no place to rest
You'll need some to pass the test, so get some on the flight
And say your John Henry Ford
'Cause we don't need your no more
You have known the final score the day John Henry died
The day John died
