| | | Artist: | Van Morrison |
| | Album: | The Philosopher's Stone | | Track: | John Henry | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 212 | | | | Lyrics: | When John Henry was a little baby
Sittin' on his mama's knee
Well he picked up a feather
and a piece of steel
And said that's gonna be the death of me
Lord, lord, lord that's
gonna be the death of me
Well John Henry had a little woman
Name of Polly Ann
Well
John got sick had to lay down on the bed
Polly drove steel like a man
Lord, lord, lord,
Polly drove steel like a man
Well John Henry went up on the mountain
Well the mountain
was sinkin' in
He said come on captain I know what I'm doin'
It ain't nothin' but my
hammer suckin' wind
Lord, lord, lord, It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind
Well john Henry went up on the mountain
Lord the mountain was so high
He said
we're gonna shake this steel drivin' down
Give me a cool drink of water before I die
Give me a cool drink of water before I die
Some say he came from England
Some say he came from Spain
But John Henry was nothin' but a Louisiana man
And he
died with his hammer in his hand
Lord, lord, lord, he died with his hammer in his hand
Steel drivin' man, he died with his hammer in his hand
Lord ain't nothin' but my hammer
suckin' wind etc. etc | | | |
