John Henry Lyrics

John Henry (约翰·亨利) - Lonnie Donegan

Well Jogn Henry told his little woman

 

Honey cook my supper soon

 

I've got ninety miles of track

I'm going to line

 

Gonna line them

By the light of the moon

No no

Gonna line them

By the light of the moon

 

John Henry was a steel driver

He was the best in the land

And he'd die

With his hammer in his hand

I'll tell you all about him now

 

Oh John Henry told his captain

 

Know a man ain't nothing but a man

 

But before I let your

Steam drill beat me down

Gonna die with the hammer in my hand

No no

Gonna die with the hammer in my hand

 

Oh John Henry told his captain

 

Know a man ain't nothing but a man

 

But before I let your

Steam drill beat me down

Gonna die with the hammer in my hand

No no

Gonna die with the hammer in my hand

 

Oh John Henry had new woman

 

And the dress that she wore was red

 

Oh she studied the track lord

She never looked back

I'm going where John Henry lies dead

No no

Going where John Henry lies dead

Ah John Henry went down to Washington

 

And they buried him in the sand

And the people from the east

And people from the west

Ain't seen such a steel driving man

Yeah no

Ain't seen such a steel driving man

But if some say he's from England

And some say he's from France

No he's nothing but a Louisiana man

A leader of the steel driving gang

No no

 

A leader of the steel driving gang
