2. John Henry went into town
He went into town to drive
The rocks was so tall
John Henry was so small
Till he laid down his hammer and he cried
Lord he laid down his hammer and he cried.
(repeat)
3. John Henry had a little woman
Her name was Polly Ann
When Henry got sick and he could not work
Lord, Polly drove steel like a man.
(repeat)
4. Put one hole in the headin'
You can put one hole in the side
Well the mountain was so tall
John Henry was so small
Till he laid down his hammer and he died.
Lord, he laid down his hammer and he died.
(repeat) |
