John Henry (约翰·亨利) - Cecile McLorin Salvant

John henry was a little baby

Sitting on his papa's knee

When he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel

Said this hammers going to be the death of me

Hammers going to be the death of me

Hammers going to be the death of me

Hammers going to be the death of me

John henry said to his captain now a man ain't nothing but a man

Now before I let your steel drill bring me down

I will die with that hammer in my

I will die with that hammer in my

I will die with that hammer in my hand

I will die with that hammer in my hand

John henry said to his shaker

Shaker why don't you sing

I'm shaking twelve pounds from my hips onnnn down

Now don't you hear that cold still ring

Don't you

Hear that cold still ring

Don't you

Hear that cold still ring

Don't you

Hear that cold still ring

John henry hammer in the mountains and the mountains they were so high

And the last word that's I heard that poor man cry

He said give me a cool drink of water before I die

Give me

A cool drink of water before I die

Give me

A cool drink of water before I die

Give me

A cool drink of water before I die

John henry went down that railroad track with a twelve pound hammer

By his side yes he went down

The track but he never came back

Because he laid down his hammer and he

He laid down his hammer and he

He laid down his hammer and he died

He laid down his hammer and he died

John henry had a little woman

And the dress she wore was red

And that last words that I heard that poor girl said

She said I'm going where john henry fell dead

I'm going where john henry fell dead

I'm going where john henry fell dead

I'm going where john henry fell dead
