  • One, two, three
    When John Henry was a little baby
    Sittin' on his daddy's knee
    He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
    And cried, "hammer's gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord
    Hammer's gonna be the death of me"
    Now the captain he said to John Henry
    "I'm gonna bring that steam drill around
    I'm gonna bring that steam drill out on these tracks
    I'm gonna knock that steel on down, God, God
    I'm gonna knock that steel on down"
    John Henry told his captain,
    "Lord a man ain't nothin' but a man
    But before I let this steam drill beat me down
    I'm gonna die with a hammer in my hand, Lord, Lord
    Die with a hammer in my hand"
    Ready Sue!
    John Henry driving on the right side
    That steam drill driving on the left
    Says, "'fore I'll let your steam drill beat me down
    I'm gonna hammer myself to death, Lord, Lord
    I'll hammer my fool self to death"
    Well, captain said to John Henry
    "What is that storm I hear?"
    John Henry said, "That ain't no storm
    Captain, that's just my hammer in the air, Lord, Lord
    That's just my hammer in the air"
    John Henry said to his shaker
    "Shaker, why don't you sing?
    'Cause I'm swigin' thirty pounds from my hips on down
    Yeah, listen to my cold steel ring, Lord, Lord
    Listen to my cold steel ring"
    Come on ???!
    I wanna hear that banjo now too!
    I want it now!
    Now John Henry he hammered in the mountains
    His hammer was striking fire
    But he worked so hard, it broke his heart
    John Henry laid his hammer and died, Lord, Lord
    John Henry laid down his hammer and died
    Well now John Henry he had him a woman
    By the name of Polly Ann
    She walked out to those tracks, picked up John Henry's hammer
    Polly drove steel like a man, Lord, Lord
    Polly drove that steel like a man
    Come on!
    Well every, every Monday morning
    When a bluebird he began to sing
    You could hear John Henry from a mile or more
    You can hear John Henry's hammer ring, Lord, Lord
    You can hear John Henry's hammer ring
    Set out again!
    So you can hear John Henry's hammer ring, Lord, Lord
    You can hear John Henry's hammer ring
    Come on! Woah!
    One, two, a one two three four!*
    It's good
