Testo John Henry - Bob Gibson
Testo della canzone John Henry (Bob Gibson), tratta dall'album 100 Essential Folk Masters
When John Henry was a little bitty baby, Lord
Sittin' on his mammy's knee
He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
He said, "That hammer gonna be the death of me"
Lord God, "that hammer gonna be the death of me"
Captain came to John Henry, Lord
Gonna bring that steam drill 'round
Bringin' that steam drill out on the job
We're gonna whop that steel on down
Lord God, gonna whop that steel on down
John Henry told his captain, Lord
A man ain't nothin' but a man
'Fore I let your old steam drill beat me down
I'm gonna die with this hammer in my hand
Lord God, die with this hammer in my hand
John Henry had a little woman, Lord
Her name was Polly Ann
One day John got sick and he couldn't go to work
Polly Ann drove steel like a man
Lord God, Polly Ann drove steel like a man
John Henry he drove fifteen feet
Steam drill only made nine
It hammered so hard that he broke his poor heart
Laid down his hammer and he died
Lord God, laid down his hammer and he died
Some said he came from Texas, Lord
Some said Louisian'
I don't care where that poor boy was born
He was a steel drivin' man
Lord God, he was a steel drivin' man
He was a steel drivin' man
Lord God, he was a steel drivin' man
