John Henry was a little baby Sitting on his papas 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 aint nothing but a man now before I let your steel drill bring me down I will die with that hammer I will die with that hammer 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 im shaking twelve pounds from my hips onnnn down now don't you hear that cold still ring hear that cold still ring hear that cold still ring hear that cold still ring 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 died Songtextehe laid down his hammer and he died he laid down his hammer and he died he laid down his hammer and he died 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 a cool drink of water before I die a cool drink of water before I die a cool drink of water before I die 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 (Thanks to Tracy Wollman for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
