paroles de chanson John Henry - Cécile McLorin Salvant
John
Henry
was
a
little
baby
Sitting
on
his
papa's
knee
Well
he
picked
up
a
hammer
and
a
little
piece
of
steel
Says
this
hammer's
going
to
be
the
death
of
me
Hammer's
going
to
be
the
death
of
me
Hammer's
going
to
be
the
death
of
me
Hammer's
going
to
be
the
death
of
me
John
Henry
said
to
his
captain
now
a
man
ain't
nothing
but
a
man
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
hand
I
will
die
with
that
hammer
in
my
hand
I'll
die
with
that
hammer
in
my
hand
John
Henry
said
to
his
shaker
Now
shaker
why
don't
you
sing
I'm
shaking
twelve
pounds
from
my
hip
onnnn
down
Now
don't
you
hear
that
cold
steel
ring
Don't
you
hear
that
cold
steel
ring
Don't
you
hear
that
cold
steel
ring
Don't
you
hear
that
cold
steel
ring
John
Henry
hammered
in
the
mountain
and
the
mountain
it
was
so
high
And
the
last
word
that
I
heard
that
poor
man
cry
He
says
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
says
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
