Lyrics:
it half in two
Thirty-five cents a day for drivin' steel
Sweat, sweat boy, sweat, you owe me two more swings
I was born for driven steel
Well John
proved to you!
There was a big crowd of mourners at the church house
The section hands laid him in the sand
Trains go by on the rails John Henry laid.
that's been proved to you!
There was a big crowd of mourners at the church house
The section hands laid him in the sand
Trains go by on the rails John
that's been proved to you!
There was a big crowd of mourners at the church house
The section hands laid him in the sand
Trains go by on the rails John
Burl Ives - John Henry
John Henry he could hammer,
He could whistle, he could sing
He went to the mountain early in the mornin'
Just to hear his
Dear John forgive us our sins thank you God
I wanna tell you where you're at
You lose me in this campsite
And I'm gonna teach you how to be cowboys
Now,
died
Oh they took John Henry to the White House
And they buried him in the sand
Every locomotive come roarin' by
Says there lies a steel drivin'
say we're lucky we're alive.
I'll see you John!
Though the best of good intentions have a way of gettin'
scattered by the wind.
I know you, John

to agree
I'm as fickle as a paper doll
Being kicked by the wind
When I touch down again
I'll be in someone else's arms
Oh, John, come on
We'll do
what I want to know
How does the song go
Come hear uncle john's band
By the riverside
Got some things to talk about
Here beside the rising tide
want to know, how does the song go
Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside
Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide
Come
want to know, how does the song go
Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside
Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide
Come
at the Frosty Freeze
By sundown we were rollin' down Highway 23
Pick-up trucks and trailers and cars of ever'y kind
With the Bailey Brother's John Deere
clapped
Black was in the Jeep watchin
All these scenes speed by
It was a brown Datsun
And yo nobody in my hood got one
That clown cat's through, blazin

God told the angel "go see about John"
So he flew from the pit with the moon round his waist
Gathered wind in his fists so the stars round his wrists
They get clean wind what you gon do?
Rap about a fight I had with
A nigga that by me? And I bit him back
Well talk about how it was 20 niggas
There and I
door to Jermalo while in Saint John apartments
Couldn't afford the rent, we moved with grandma, more like an orphanage
The neighborhood ain't like us,
girth
In his cabin that night under-a full moon bright John worked like a restless wind
With anvil and hammer he forged with a clamor two long blades end
and invest in it, the company wants me testing it by racing it against my very best Lord, Lord, John I do believe you are my very best.
Well Captain, said
speaking
From the heaven
You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.
Suddenly the wind, the dove, and the voice
Have vanished
Jesus thanks John
The sound of the waves on the embankment
A phone in my left pocket
I'm leaving, you're staying
A forgotten city by me
You're so beautiful, my dream hasn't
the john
No soap in the john
No soap in the john
No soap in the john
(Rattled by the rush)
