Lyrics
When John Henry was just a little baby
Sittin' on his Daddy's knee
He gave one long and lonesome cry
Said, "A hammer be the death of me."
John Henry told his captain
Said, "A man ain't nothing but a man
But before I let your steam drill beat me down
I'll die with a hammer in my hand..."
Well the man that invented the steam drill
He thought that he was mighty fine
But John Henry drove his steal 15 feet
And the steam drill drove only nine.
John Henry kept hammering on the mountain
There was lightning in his eyes!
He drove so hard that it broke his heart
And he laid down his hammer and he died.
