Lyrics:
John Henry was about three days old
Sittin' on his papa's knee.
He picked up a hammer
And a little piece of steel
Said, "this hammer's gonna be
shake it
I was thinkin' that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
He was all alone in a long decline
Thinkin' how happy John Henry
Henry, what's the chaplain to say?
When your alley cat'n after the wake
And all the filthy Johns can say
"Oh let's be bad, Henry....Let's be bad, Henry
and gone
That nine pound hammer that killed John Henry
Ain't a gonna kill me, ain't a gonna kill me
Evans, Daniel, McBride,
Dave Benson, Bill King,
Squire Smith, Shade Thompson,
Albert Brooks, Henry Ivy,
Jack Turner, Leonard Coker,
John Brooks, Samuel
when the land was emptied, and the work went away
He kept climbing ladders and made his own pay
Climb your own ladder
Away from John Henry's hammer
I
dead and gone'
'Yeah, my husband he is dead and gone'
Yeah, when John Henry was a baby
You could hold him in the paddles of your hand
When
John Henry was a little baby boy
You could hold him on the palm of your hand
And his Papa cried out this lonesome farewell
Son you're gonna be
on the mountain
I found myself standing on the mountain
Beneath my full moon heart
John Henry split this heart, split this full moon heart
John Henry split this
Living like John Gotti
Chopping bricks like karate
Drink a bunch of codeine
Serving to the dope fiends
Blowing money, stay clean
Michael Jackson,
Barefootin'
Barefootin'
Barefootin'
Barefootin'
Lil John Henry he said to Sue
If I can barefoot, you can barefoot too
Sue told John, I can get out here
smell, and everyone is looking well
As far as anyone can tell, the sun will rise tomorrow
You'll never believe how much they're growin'
John Henry
smell, and everyone is looking well
As far as anyone can tell, the sun will rise tomorrow
You'll never believe how much they're growin'
John Henry
Now John Henry was a steel driving man
But he went down, he went down
This that hammer that killed John Henry
But it won’t kill me, no it won’t kill
John Henry was a little baby, sittin' down on his daddy's knee
Well, he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
He said, hammer's gonna be
FORTALECE A TUA IGREJA
Henry Maxwell Wright/Thomas John William
Fortalece a tua Igreja,
Ó bendito Salvador!
Dá-lhe tua plena graça
Vem, renova seu
I was born one mornin'
The rain a-pourin' down
Heard my mammy say to my pappy
"Let's call him John Henry Brown"
Walk on boy walk on down
alone forbidden in the city
Running fast through time like Tubman and John Henry
But the time was wrong
Illegal aliens moaned
It's such a pity that
got back on my feet,
But with the passing of John Henry, then the loss of Stevie Ray;
I see the light of our own time get dimmer every day.

He was all alone in a long decline
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
When he shook it and he rang like silver

She's barefootin', oh now, she's barefootin'
She's barefootin', hey hey, she's barefootin'
'Lil John Henry, he said to Sue
If I was barefootin',
John Henry when he was a baby
Sitting on his mothers knee
Saw a hammer and a little piece of steel
Said "Hammer'll be the death of me, Lord
Hammer'll
young Henry took the throne, Margaret, his consort
Then, Richard's Berengaria, recognized by the court
Isabella, in 1200 became Queen under John

drilling now, engineer
Pushing through rock, John Henry's down
Further you go, faster you come
Winding up where you began
Crawling carpet like a baby old
