Songtexte John Henry - Hank Thompson
John
Henry
was
just
a
little
bitty
boy
No
bigger
than
the
palm
of
your
hand
His
mammy
looked
down
at
John
Henry
and
say
Johnny
you′re
gonna
be
a
steal
drivin'
man
Lord
lord
Johnny
you′re
gonna
be
a
steal
drivin'
man
John
Henry
he
said
to
his
Captain
Captain
I
wanna
hear
you
sing
I'll
swing
forty-nine
pounds
from
my
hips
on
down
I
like
to
hear
that
cold
steel
ring
Lord
Lord
I
like
to
hear
that
cold
steel
ring
[ Guitar

John
Henry
had
a
little
woman
and
her
name
was
Polly
Ann
John
Henry
he
got
sick
and
he
had
to
go
to
bed
But
Polly
drove
the
steel
like
a
man
Lord
Lord
Polly
drove
the
steel
like
a
man
John
Henry
went
to
the
tunnel
to
drive
steam
hammer
by
his
side
Well
he
beat
that
drill
till
the
end
of
the
tunnel
Laid
down
his
hammer
and
he
cried
Lord
Lord
laid
down
his
hammer
and
he
cried
[ Guitar
- steel
]
John
Henry
drove
the
steel
on
that
mountain
till
his
hammer
caught
on
fire
And
the
last
words
we
heard
John
Henry
say
Cool
drink
of
water
before
I
die
Lord
Lord
a
cool
drink
of
water
before
I
die
Well
they
took
John
Henry
to
the
graveyard
stuck
him
six
feet
under
the
sand
Everytime
the
freight
train
that
go
puffin′
by
They
say
there
lies
a
steel
drivin′
man
Lord
Lord
yonder
lies
a
steel
drivin'
man
