Align:    
  • When John Henry was just a little bitty boy no bigger than the palm of your hand
  • His mommy looked down at John Henry and say
  • Well Johnny you're gonna be a steal drivin' man Lord lord
  • Well Johnny you're gonna be a steal drivin' man
  • John Henry he said to his Captain he said Captain why don't you learn to swing
  • I'm drivin' forty-nine pounds from my hip on down
  • I love to hear that cold steel ring Lord Lord I love to hear that cold steel ring
  • [ guitar ]
  • John Henry had a pretty little woman and her name was Polly Ann
  • John Henry he took sick and he had gone to bed
  • Polly drove the steel like a man Lord Lord but Polly drove the steel like a man
  • John Henry went up on that mountain had that steam hammer by his side
  • Well beat that drill till the end of the line
  • He laid down his hammer and he cried Lord Lord he laid down his hammer and he cried
  • [ guitar ]
  • John Henry drove the steel on that mountain till that hammer caught on fire
  • Well the very last words I'd hear ol' John Henry say
  • Cool glass of water I'm gonna die Lord Lord a cool glass of water I'm gonna die
  • Well they bury John Henry in the graveyard they laid him six feet under the sand
  • Everytime a freight train go a rollin' on by
  • They say yonder lies a steel drivin' man Lord Lord well yonder lies a steel drivin' man
