John Henry was a little bitty boy sittin' on his mommy's knee
When he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
This hammer'd be a death of me Lord Lord this hammer'd be a death of me
John Henry was a little bitty boy no bigger than a palm of your hand
When his mommy looked at him proudly and said
My Johnny'll be a steal drivin' man Lord lord hey Johnny'll be a steal drivin' man
[ fiddle ]
John Henry was a steel drivin' man drove steel all through the land
Before he would let that steam drill beat him down
He'd die with the hammer in his hand Lord lord he'd die with the hammer in his hand
John Henry went to the tunnel drive steam drill was by his side
Before he would let that steam drill beat him down
He laid down his hammer and he cried Lord Lord he laid down his hammer and he cried
[ steel ]
John Henry went up on the mountain and he looked down on the other side
And the last words I heard poor old John Henry said
A cool drink of water before I die Lord Lord cool drink of water before I die
John Henry had a little woman and her name was Polly Ann
And the last words I heard poor old John Henry said
Polly drive that steel like a man Lord Lord Polly drive that steel like a man
Перевод
Джон Генри был маленьким мальчиком, сидящим на коленях у мамы
Когда он взял в руки молоток и маленький кусок стали
Этот молоток мог бы убить меня, Господи, Боже, этот молоток был бы моя смерть
Джон Генри был маленьким мальчиком размером не больше ладони
Когда его мама посмотрела на него с гордостью и сказала
Мой Джонни будет воровать, Господи, Господи, эй Джонни будет воровать как человек
{ скрипка }
Джон Генри был человеком, который гонял сталь по всей стране
Прежде чем он позволил паровому буру сбить его с ног
Он' умру с молотком в руке, Господи, он умрет с молотком в руке
Джон Генри подошел к туннелю, паровая буровая установка была рядом с ним
Прежде чем он позволил паровой буровой установке сбить его с ног
Он положил свой молот и воскликнул: Господи, Господи, он положил свой молот и закричал
{сталь}
Джон Генри поднялся на гору и посмотрел вниз, на другую сторону
И последнее слова, которые я слышал, сказал бедный старый Джон Генри
Выпить прохладной воды, прежде чем я умру, Господи Боже, выпить прохладной воды, прежде чем я умру
У Джона Генри была маленькая женщина, и ее звали Полли Энн
И последние слова Я слышал, как бедный старый Джон Генри сказал
Полли водит эту сталь, как мужчина. Лорд Лорд Полли, водит эту сталь, как мужчина
