Текст песни: John Henry + перевод

John henry when he was a baby

Sitting on his papas knee

Well he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel

Said a hammers gonna be the death of me

Lord

Hammer gonna be the death of me

When the captain said to john henry

Gonna bring that steam drill around

Gonna bring that steam drill out on this job

And ill whop that steel on down lord

Gonna whop that steel on down.

Whop that steel on down lord lord

Whop that steel on down.

John henry said to the captain

You can bring that steam drill around.

You can bring that steam drill out on this job

And ill beat that steam drill down lord.

Beat that steam drill down

John henry had a little woman

Well her name it was polly anne

John henry took sick and had to go to bed. Polly drove steel like a man lord

Polly drove steel like a man.

John henry hammered in the mountain

Till the head of his hammer caught fire.

Well he worked so hard that he broke his poor heart

And he laid down his hammer and he died lord lord

Laid down his hammer and he died.

Well every monday morning

When the bluebirds begin to sing

You can hear john henry from half a mile

You can hear john henrys hammer ring lord

Hear john henrys hammer ring
