Lyrics My Little John Henry (Got a Mighty Know) - The Brothers Four

It was early one mornin'
And it looked like ra-a-ain
When around that curve, boy,
I spied a gravel train.
Oh, my little John Henry--
He got a mighty know.
Oh, my little John Henry--
He got a mighty know.
I got a woman in Dallas--
Work at the Baker Hotel--
Some folks call her Maggie,
Real name is Katie Bell.
Oh, my little John Henry--
He got a mighty know.
Oh, my little John Henry--
He got a mighty know.
It was early one mornin'(it was early one mornin')
And it looked like ra-a-ain (oh, it looked like rain)
When around that curve, boy,
I spied a gravel train.
Oh, my little John Henry--
He got a mighty know.
I said, my little John Henry--
He got a mighty know.
He got a mighty know.
He got a mighty know.
He got a mighty, mighty know.
