Luyện nghe bài hát The Day John Henry Died

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

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

When John was a little bitty baby
Nobody ever him how to read
But he the perfect way to hold a hammer
Was the way the railroad baron held the

It matter if he won, if he lived, or if he'd run
They the way his job was done, labor costs were high
That new machine was cheap as hell and only John would as well
So they left him laying where he fell the day John died

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

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