john henry - henry thomas lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
henry got a letter
said his mother was dead
put his children on a passenger train
he gonna ride the blinds, lordy
he gonna ride the blinds

[verse 2]
henry looked down the railroad track
saw the steel driver comin’ down
‘fore i let that steel driver beat me down
die with a hammer in my hand
i’m gonna die with a hammer in my hand
[verse 3]
henry went on the mountaintop
give his h*rn a blow
last words his captain said
“john henry was a natural man
john henry was a natural man”

[verse 4]
henry had a woman
the dress she wore was red
run on down that railroad track
goin’ where john henry fell dead
yes, i’m goin’ where john henry fell dead

[verse 5]
henry had a baby boy
holdin’ his mama’s hand
last words that poor boy said
“gonna learn to be a steel drivin’ man
yes, i’ll learn to be a steel drivin’ man”
