charlie parr - john henry lyrics
john henry was a little baby+baby
sittin’ on his daddy’s knee
john henry looked into his daddy’s ol’ eyes
said, “that mountain be the death of me, poor boy
mountain be the death of me,”
well+oh
john henry said to the captain
“bring that ol’ steam rail around
bring me a nine+pound hammer, lord god
i’m ‘onna whoop that steel rail down, poor boy
i’m ‘onna whoop that steel rail down,”
john henry said to the captain
“man ain’t nothin’ but a man
‘fore i let that steel rail beat me down
i’mma die with a hammer in my hand, poor boy
die with a hammer in my hand
i’m ‘onna die with a hammer in my hand, poor boy
i’m ‘onna die with a hammer in my hand, yes i am
you can move on [?] with the [?] boy
move on over to the side
mountain was so tall, john henry was so small
and he lay down his hammer and he cried, oh boy
lay down his hammer and he cried
oh, john henry went to the tunnel, oh, lordy
went into the tunnel to drive
mountain was so tall, john henry was so small
and he lay down his hammer and he died, poor boy
lay down his hammer and he died
well, [?]s his hammer and he died, poor boy
lay down his hammer and he died
[instrumental]
john henry had him a woman
and a girl she was [?]
she went out on track and she never did look back
said, “i’m goin’ where my man fell dead, poor boy
goin’ where my man fell dead
well, i’m goin’ where my man fell dead, poor boy
goin’ where my man fell dead
well, i’m goin’ where my man fell dead, poor boy
well, i’m goin’ where my man fell dead
(thank you, everyone.)
