Songtext von John Henry

When john henry was a little bitty boy Sitting on his granpappys knee He looked down the track he saw an 8 wheel Jack You'll never be a driver like me God I heard a mighty rumblin back in top of bald mountain Thought it was a cave coming in John Henry drove the steel so popeyed fast His hammer caught the fire and the wind God John Henry's Captain told him Wagon is going to town I want you to buy me a 9 pound hammer Iwant to beat the steam drill down God
