[00:00.00] 作词 : Carter, Cash, Cash
[00:19.14] John Henry's pappy woke him up one midnight
[00:22.71] He said, "'Fore the sheriff comes I wanna tell you"
[00:26.53] Said "listen boy
[00:27.82] Learn to hoist a jack, and learn to lay a track
[00:31.61] Learn to pick and shovel too and take that hammer
[00:35.78] It'll do anything you tell it to"
[00:39.30] John Henry's mammy had about a dozen babies
[00:43.33] John Henry's pappy broke jail a dozen times
[00:47.72] The babies all got sick and when the doctor wanted money
[00:51.79] He said, "I'll pay you a quarter at a time startin' tomorrow
[00:55.76] That's the pay for a steel driver on this line"
[00:59.63] Then the section foreman said, "Hey, hammer swinger
[01:03.70] Said "I see you brought your own hammer boy
[01:05.06] But what else can all those muscles do" and he said,
[01:08.39] "I can hoist a jack, and I can lay a track
[01:12.32] I can pick and shovel too"
[01:15.33] He said "Can you swing a hammer?"
[01:16.56] He said "I'll do anything, you hire me to"
[01:24.94] He said "now ain't you somethin'
[01:26.85] You're so high and mighty with your muscles
[01:29.15] Go ahead, boy and pick up that hammer show me what you can do"
[01:32.98] He said, "Get a rusty spike and swing a hammer down three times
[01:37.64] I'll pay you a nickel a day for every inch you sink it to
[01:41.30] Go on and do what you say you can do"
[01:45.00] With a steep nose hammer on a four foot switch handle
[01:49.00] John Henry raised it back 'til it touched his heels then
[01:53.38] The spike went through the cross tie and it split it half in two
[01:57.48] Thirty-five cents a day for drivin' steel
[02:00.48] He said "Sweat, sweat boy, sweat, you owe me two more swings"
[02:03.12] He Said"I was born for driven steel"
[02:09.88] Well now John Henry hammered in the mountains
[02:13.67] He'd give a grunt, he'd give a groan with every swing
[02:17.65] The women folks for miles around heard him and come down
[02:21.78] To watch him make the cold steel ring, "Lord what a swinger
[02:26.10] What you made the cold steel ring"
[02:31.68] Then the bad boss come up laughin' at John Henry
[02:35.45] he said, "You full of vinegar now, but you about through
[02:39.72] We gonna get a steam drill to do your share of drivin'
[02:43.76] Then what's all them muscles gonna do? Huh, John Henry?
[02:47.57] Gonna take a little bit of vinegar out of you"
[02:51.34] John Henry said, "I feed four little brothers
[02:55.22] And my baby sister's walkin' on her knees
[02:59.62] Now did the Lord say that machines
[03:02.37] Oughtta take the place of livin'?
[03:05.62] Then what's a substitute for bread and beans? I ain't seen it
[03:11.41] Do engines get rewarded for their steam?"
[03:18.52] And John Henry said to his captain,
[03:22.10] Said " A man ain't nothin' but a man
[03:25.89] But you can bring that steam drill round,
[03:28.15] And I'll beat it fair and honest
[03:30.50] I'll die with that hammer in my hand but I'll be laughin'
[03:34.24] But you can't replace a steel drivin' man"
[03:37.71] There was a big crowd of people at the mountain
[03:41.82] John Henry said to the steam drill, "How is you?"
[03:45.53] Said "Pardon me mister steam drill, I suppose you didn't hear me"
[03:48.09] I said, "How're you?"
[03:50.01] Can you hoist a jack, can you lay a track
[03:53.66] Can you pick and shovel too?"
[03:57.14] Listen, this hammer swinger's talkin' to you
[04:22.35] Two thousand people hollered, "Go, John Henry"
[04:25.51] Then somebody hollered, "The mountain's caving in"
[04:28.81] John Henry told the captain, "Tell the kind folks don't worry
[04:32.17] That ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind,
[04:34.68] It keeps me breathin'
[04:35.90] The steel driver's muscle I intend"
[04:42.84] Captain, tell the people, move back further
[04:46.01] I'm at the finish line and there ain't no drill
[04:49.40] It's so far behind but yet ain't got the brains to quit it
[04:52.77] When she blows up she'll scatter 'cross the hills, Lord lordy
[04:56.26] When she blows up she'll scatter 'cross the hills
[05:02.51] Now John Henry had a little woman
[05:06.51] I believe the lady's name was Polly Ann
[05:10.10] Yeah that was his good woman
[05:11.72] John Henry threw his hammer over his shoulder
[05:13.51] And he went on home, early next morning
[05:15.39] He said, "Come here Polly Ann, come here sugar
[05:18.50] Said "You know, I've laying here watch the sun come up
[05:21.48] And I believe this is the first time
[05:22.54] I've seen The sun come up that I couldn't come up with it"
[05:26.27] He said "Take that hammer, Polly Ann and go to that railroad
[05:32.50] When he's swing at the laying man
[05:33.85] You tell'em like I'm laying like I do, you tell'em
[05:36.14] "I can hoist a jack, and I can lay a track
[05:39.65] I can pick and shovel too, ain't no machine can
[05:44.23] That's been proved to you"
[05:48.59] There was a big crowd of mourners at the church house
[05:53.07] The section hands laid him in the sand
[05:57.16] Trains go by on the rails John Henry laid
[06:01.48] They slow down and take off their hats
[06:02.97] When they come to hoist land
[06:04.43] Restin' his back, they said,
[06:06.78] "Mornin', steel driver you sure was a hammer swinger"
[06:10.42] Then they go on by, pickin' up a little speed
[06:12.70] Clickity clack
[06:14.72] Yeah Yonder lies a steel drivin' man, Lord, Lord
[06:18.36] Yonder lies a steel drivin' man
[06:23.35] Yeah Yonder lies a steel drivin' man, lord, Lord
[06:27.14] Yonder lies a steel drivin' man
[06:30.43] Oh Yonder lies a steel...
