John Henry's Papy woke him up one midnight He said before the sheriff comes I wanna tell you, listen boy, Said learn to ball a jack, learn to lay a track, learn to pick and shovel too, and take my hammer, it'll do anything you tell it to John Hery's mammie had about a dozen babies, John Henry's papie told tale about a dozen times The babies all got sick and when the doctor wanted money, he said I'll pay you quarter at a time, startin' tomorow, that's the pay for a steel driver on this line Then the section foreman said hey hammer swinger, I see you brought your own hammer boy, but what else can all those muscles do? And he said, I can turn a jack, I can lay a track, I can pick and shovel too (can you swing a hammer boy?) I can I'll do anything you hire me to Now ain't you something so high and mighty with your muscles, just go ahead pick up that hammer, pick up the hammer He said get a rusty spike and swing it down three times, I'll pay you a nickel a day for every inch you sink it to, go on and do what you say you can do With a steep nose hammer on a four foot switch panel, John Henry raised it back till it touched his heels, then the spike went through the cross tie and it split it half in two, 35 cents a day for driven steel, (sweat sweat boy, sweat, you owe me two more swings) I was born for driven steel Well John Henry hammered in the mountain, he'd give a grunt and he'd give groan with every swing, the women folks for miles around, heard him and come down, to watch him make the cold steel ring, Lord what a swinger, just listen to that cold steel ring, But the bad boss come up laughing at John Henry, said you full of vinegar now, but you bout through, were gonna get a steam drill to do your share of drivin, then what's all them muscles gonna do, huh John Henry, gonna take a little bit of vinegar out of you John Henry said I feed four little brothers, and my baby sister's walking on her knees, did the Lord say that machines awtta take the place of living, and what's a subsitute for bread and beans, I ain't seen it, do engines get rewarded for their steam John Henry hid in a coal mine for his dinner now, had thirty minutes to rest before the bell, the mine boss hollered get up whoever you are and get a pick ax, give me enough coal to start another hill, and keep it burning, mine me enough to start another hill
