Johnny Henry's pappy woke him up one midnightHe said "Before the sheriff comes I wanna tell you," Said "Listen boyLearn to hoist a jack and learn to lay a track learn to pick and shovel tooAnd take that hammer, It'll do anything you tell it to."
John Henry's mammy had about a dozen babiesJohn Henry's pappy broke jail about a dozen timesThe babies all got sick and when the doctor wanted moneyHe said, "I'll pay you a quarter at a time startin' tomorrowthat's the pay for a steel driver on this line."
Then the section foreman said, "Hey! Hammer-swinger!I see you your own hammer boy but, what all can them muscles do?" and he said,"I can turn a jack I can lay a track I can pick and shovel too.""Can you swing a hammer, boy?" "Yes sir, I'll do anything you hire me to."
Spoken:"Now ain't you somethin'! So high and mighty with all that muscle! Just goahead, boy. Pick up that hammer, pick up the hammer!"
He said to get a rusted spike and swing it down three timesI'll pay you a nickel a day for every inch you sink it toGo on and do what you say you can do
With a steel-nosed hammer on a four foot switch handleJohn Henry raised it back til' it touched his heels thenThe spike went through the cross-tie and split it half in twoThirty-five cents a day for drivin' steel"Sweat! Sweat, boy! Sweat! Only two more swings!""I was born drivin' steel"
Well John Henry hammered in the mountainHe'd give a grunt he give a groan every swingThe women-folks from miles around heard him and come downTo watch make the coal-steel ring "Lord! What a swinger!Watch him make the coal-steel ring"
But the bad boys came up laughin' at John HenryThey said," Your full of vinegar now but you bout' through!We gonna get a steamdrill to do your share of drivin'Then what's all them muscles gonna do? Huh? John Henry?Gonna take a little bit of vinegar out of you."
John Henry said,"I feed for little brothersand baby sisters' walkin' on her kneesNow did the Lord say that machines ought to take place of livin'?And what's a substitute for bread and beans? I ain't seen it!Do engines get rewarded for their steam?
John Henry hid in a coal mine for his dinner napHad thirty minutes to rest before the bellThe mine boys hollered," Get up whoever you are and get a pickaxMine me enough to start another hell and keep it burnin'Mine me enough to start another hell.
John Henry said to his captain said "A man ain't nothin' but a manbut if you'll bring that steamdrill 'round I'll beat it fair and honest.I'll die with that hammer in my hand but, I'll be laughin',cause you can't replace a steel-drivin' man.
There was a big crowd of people at the mountain.John Henry said to the steam-drill "How is you?(spoken) Pardon me, Mister Steamdrill I suppose you didn't hear me. Huh?Well, can you turn a jack? Can you lay a track? Can you pick and shovel too?Listen, this hammer-swinger's talkin' to you.
(Faster...........)Two-thousand people hollered, "Go John Henry!!!!!"Then somebody hollered," The mountain's cavin' in!!!!!!"John Henry told the captin,"Tell the kind-folks not to worryIt ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind, it keeps me breathin'This steel-driver's muscle it ain't thin.
"Captain tell the people to move back fartherI'm at the finish line and there ain't no drillIt's so far behind that it don't got the brains to quit itWhen she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills Lord, LordWhen she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills"
(Slower...........)(Spoken)Well, John Henry had a little womanI believe the lady's name was Paulie Ann yeah that was his good womanJohn Henry threw his hammer over his shoulder and went on homeHe laid down to rest his weary back and early next mornin' he said,"Come here Paulie Ann, come here sugar.You know I believe this is the first time there ever was the sun comeand I couldn't come up. Take my hammer, Paulie Ann and go to that railroadSwing that hammer like you seen me do itThey'll all know your John Henry's woman but tell em' that ain't all you candoTell em'.........
I can hoist a jack and I can lay a track I can pick and shovel too.Ain't no machine can that's been proved to you!
There was a big crowd of mourners at the church houseThe section hands laid him in the sandTrains go by on the rails John Henry laid.They slow down and take off the hats, the men dowhen they come to the place where he's laying' retsina' his back.They say,"Mornin' Steel-driver, you sure was a hammer-swinger."Then they go on by pickin' up a little bit of speed.Clickity clack clickity clack clickity clack clickity clack
(Fade............)Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man lord lordYonder lies a steel-drivin' manYonder lies a steel-drivin' man lord lordYonder lies a steel-drivin' manYonder lies a steel-drivin' man lord lordYonder lies a steel-drivin' man
