Well, John Henry was a little baby
Sitting on his daddy's knee
He picked up a hammer and
A little piece of steel
And cried, "Hammer's going to
Be death of me, Lord, Lord
Hammer's going to be the death of me"
Now the captain he
Said to John Henry
"I'm going to bring that
Steam drill around
I'm going to bring that
Steam drill out on these tracks
I'm going to knock that
Steel on down, God, God
I'm going to knock that
Steel on down"
John Henry told his captain
"Lord, a man is nothing but a man
But before I let that steam drill
Beat me down
I'm going to die with a hammer
In my hand, Lord, Lord
I'll die with a hammer in my hand"
