John Henry told his little woman
"I'm gonna cook my supper soon
I got ninety miles of track I'm goin' to line
Gonna line 'em by the light of the moon"
Lord, Lord
Gonna line 'em by the light of the moon
John Henry was a steel driver
He was the best in the land
And he died with his hammer in his hand
I'll just tell you all about it now
John Henry told his captain
"A man ain't nothin' but a man
But before I let your steam drill beat me down
I'm gonna die with that hammer in my hand"
Lord, Lord
Gonna die with that hammer in my hand
John Henry told his captain
"A man ain't nothin' but a man
But before I let your steel drill beat me down
I'm gonna die with that hammer in my hand"
Lord, Lord
Gonna die with that hammer in my hand
John Henry had a little woman
And the dress that she wore was red
Well, she started up a track, Lord, she never looked back
"I'm going where John Henry lies dead"
Lord, Lord
Goin' where John Henry lies dead
John Henry went down to Washington
And they buried him in the sand
And the people from the East, Lord, the people from the West
Came to see such a steel drivin' man
Yes, Lord
Came to see such a steel drivin' man
Well there's some say he's from England
There's some say he's from France
But Lord, no, he's nothin' but a Louisiana man
The leader of the steel drivin' gang
The leader of the steel drivin' gang
