John Henry had a little woman |
| [00:19.73] |
And the dress she wore was red |
| [00:25.77] |
She walked down the track, |
| [00:28.64] |
She never looked back |
| [00:31.01] |
I'm going where John Henry fell dead |
| [00:37.01] |
I'm going where John Henry fell dead |
| [00:44.12] |
John Henry had another woman |
| [00:49.05] |
And her name was Polly Anne |
| [00:55.54] |
John Henry was taken sick |
| [00:58.03] |
And he had to go to bed |
| [01:00.72] |
Polly Anne drove steel like a man |
| [01:06.47] |
Polly Anne drove steel like a man |
| [01:12.95] |
John Henry told his little woman |
| [01:18.13] |
Honey fix, honey fix my supper soon |
| [01:23.88] |
I got ninety-nine miles |
| [01:26.86] |
Of track I wanna line back |
| [01:29.42] |
I'm gonna line 'em by the light of the moon |
| [01:35.16] |
I'm gonna line 'em by the light of the moon |
| [02:10.49] |
John Henry said to his captain |
| [02:15.47] |
You know a man ain't nothin' but a man |
| [02:21.84] |
I'm bettin' right now you wont beat me down |
| [02:27.09] |
I'm gonna die with my hammer in my hand |
| [02:32.82] |
I'm gonna die with my hammer in my hand |
| [02:40.01] |
John Henry hammered in the mountain |
| [02:45.06] |
Until his hammer caught on fire |
| [02:51.29] |
The last word's I heard that the poor boy said |
| [02:56.11] |
Give me a cool drink of water before I die |
| [03:01.78] |
Give me a cool drink of water before I die |
| [03:07.47] |
Give me a cool drink of water before I die |
| [03:13.07] |
Give me a cool drink of water before I die |
| [03:16.69] |
Give me a cool drink of water before I die |
| [03:22.31] |
Give me a cool drink of water before I die |
