Spoken:
"Now ain't you somethin'! So high and mighty with all that muscle! Just go
Ahead, boy. Pick up that hammer,
Marry me, John, marry me, John
I'll be so good to you
You won't realize I'm gone
Marry me, John, marry me, John
I'll be so sweet to you
You

Now ain't you somethin'
So high and mighty wif your muscles
Just go ahead, boy and pick up that hammer
Pick up the hammer
He said,
When I get through with you
You'll love me too, not Sue
When I get through with you
You'll love me too
I'm going to treat you so sweet and kind

the Sweet Delta Dawn"
Take me back to another morning
To a time so long ago
When the sweet Magnolia blossomed
Cotton fields as white as snow
Catfish John
Can't drive steel like me
Well John Henry drove into the mountain,
His hammer was strikin' fire
He drove so hard he broke his poor heart
And he laid
don't play with me
'cause you're playing with fire
Your old man took her diamond's
And tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in
do anything you hire me to."
Spoken:
"Now ain't you somethin'! So high and mighty with all that muscle! Just go
Ahead, boy. Pick up that hammer,
will meet you at the station
Won't you come and see me, All Saints Day?
Follow my lead, it is no wonder, I seem to be so high
Living my dreams
fault, my fault
Yo Sue (get away from me I don't know you)
Oh shoot she's tripping (I need to go puke)
I wasn't trying to turn this into something
the sweet Delta dawn.
Take me back to another morning, to a time so long ago,
When the sweet magnolia blossomed, cotton fields as white as snow.

Said hammer be the death of me, Lord, Lord
Said hammer be the death of me
When John Henry's fam'ly needed money,
Said he didn't have but a dime
If

Down in the old abandoned mine sweet Sue was a havin' fits
That villain said gimme the deed to your ranch or I'll blow you all
on by the time I got back
Down in the old abandoned mine sweet Sue was a havin' fits
That villain said gimme the deed to your ranch or I'll blow you all

You should've seen what was goin' on by the time that

To call me a groom

John Henry and they told me if they let me read this old book I'd
Probably write a song about it.

About his wife, her name is Maudie
Everytime he has an argument with her
He has to write a new verse
John Henry was a li'l baby, uh-huh
Sittin' on his mama's knee, oh, yeah,
Said: "De Big Bend Tunnel on de C & O road
Gonna cause de death of me
