Bruce Springsteen - John Henry
When John Henry was a little babySittin' on his daddy's kneeSaid the big Ben Tuttle of the C &O Road,"The hammer's gonna be the death of thee, lord, lordThe hammer's gonna be the death of thee"John Henry said to his captain,"A man ain't nothing' but a manBefore I let this steam drill beat me downI'll die with a hammer in my hand, lord, lord,I'll die with a hammer in my hand"Well, the man who invented the steam drillThought he was mighty fineBut John Henry drove about fifteen feetAnd the steam drill only made nine, lord, lord,The steam drill only made nineJohn Henry said to his preacher,"Man, why don't you pray,'cause if I miss with this nine pound hammerTomorrow be my buryin' day lord, lord,Tomorrow be my buryin' dayJohn Henry swung the hammer over his headHe brought the hammer down to the groundA man in Chantanooga two hundred miles awaySaid, "Listen to the rumblin' sound, lord, lord,Listen to that rumblin' sound"They took John Henry to the graveyard,Buried him in the hot sandNow every locomotive comes rollin' by says,"There lies a steel-drivin' man, lord, lord,There lies a steel drivin' man!"
