Lyrics:
Henry hammered in the mountain
He'd give a grunt, he'd give a groan with every swing
The women folks for miles around heard him and come down
To watch him
every, every Monday morning
When the blue bird he begin to sing
You could hear John Henry from a mile or more
You could hear John Henry's hammer ring,
"I was born drivin' steel"
Well John Henry hammered in the mountain
He'd give a grunt he give a groan every swing
The women-folks from miles
"I was born drivin' steel"
Well John Henry hammered in the mountain
He'd give a grunt he give a groan every swing
The women-folks from miles
Anybody got any special requests for us to do
John Henry?
Lemme do John Henry then and we'll go...
Johnny Henry's pappy woke him up one midnight
He
Lord,
Lord.
My daddy was a steel-driving."
Well, every Monday morning
When the bluebirds begin to sing.
You can hear John Henry a mile or more.
You

My daddy was a steel-driving."
Well, every Monday morning

A store of gold, an open heart

And this was seen of King Henry

On John Henry's face was a smile
Just give me a twelve pound hammer Mister Boss
And I'll beat that driver by a mile

Loud in the backwood I never hear nothin,

He had a left like Henry's hammer
A right like Betty Bamalam
Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread
And all them sluggers

Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread
And all them

Brothers and sisters too
Peace be with you
Should be peace not blood flooding these streets
