「歌曲」woody guthrie - John Henry

John Henry when he was a baby
Settin' on his mammy's knee
Picked up an hammer in his little right hand
Said "Hammer be the death of me me me
Hammer be the death of me "
Hammer be the death of me me me
Hammer be the death of me "
Some say he's born in Texas
Some say he's born up in Maine
I just say he was a Louisiana man
Leader of a steel-driving chain gang
Leader on a steel-driving gang
Leader of a steel-driving chain gang
Leader on a steel-driving gang
"Well" the captain said to John Henry
"I'm gonna bring my steam drill around
Gonna bring my steam drill around
Gonna whup that steel on down down down
Whup that steel on down "
I'll beat your steam drill down down down
Beat your steam drill down "
John Henry said to the captain what he say )
Bring your steam drill around
Gonna bring my steam drill out on the job
I'll beat your steam drill down down down
Beat your steam drill down "
I'll beat your steam drill down down down
Beat your steam drill down "
John Henry said to his Shaker
"Shaker you had better pray
If you miss your six feet of steel
It'll be your buryin' day day day
It'll be your buryin' day "
Now the Shaker said to John Henry
"Man ain't nothing but a man
