A work song is when you sing that gives you a feeling
Keep you from gettin' tired
And when you get hungry
If you sing you won't you forget about being hungry
And when you sing you swing as you sing
And that's what you call a work song
It's a feeling
John Henry was a steel-driving man
Well that's mighty fine
He was a double-jointed man
I don't guess you don't know that did you
That's what made him drive so much steel
He drove steel from Newport News to Cincinnati Ohio
And he drove that all by hisself
So I'll tell you a story about it
John Henry was a newborn baby
Sittin' down on his mama's knee
Said That Big Bend Tunnel on C-and-O Road
It's going to be the death of me Lord Lord
It's going be the death of me
It's going to be the death of me Lord Lord
It's going to be the death of me
John Henry had two women
One was named Mary Magdalene
She would go out on the job and she would sing
Do you hear John Henry's hammer ring
Lord Lord
Do you hear John Henry's hammer ring
Do you hear John Henry's hammer ring
Lord Lord
Do you hear John Henry's hammer ring
John Henry had another little woman
Her name was sweet Polly Ann
John Henry taken sick boy
And he had to go to bed
Polly Ann drove stole like a man Lord Lord
Polly Ann drove steel like a man
Polly Ann drove stole like a man Lord Lord
Polly Ann drove steel like a man
John Henry was sick he called Polly Ann to his bedside
And this is what he asked her
Baby who's gonna shoe your little feet
Baby who's gonna glove your hand
Tell me who's gonna to kiss your sweet little lips
Tell me who's gonna be your man
Lord Lord
Tell me who's gonna be your man
Tell me who's gonna be your man
Lord Lord
Tell me who's gonna be your man
This is what she told him：
My papa's gonna shoe my little feet
My mama's gonna glove my hand
My sister's gonna kiss my sweet little lip
And you know I don't need no man Lord Lord
You know I don't need no man
And you know I don't need no man Lord Lord
You know I don't need no man
Talk to 'em now
Then they took John Henry to the White House
And they bury him in the sand
And every locomotive come rollin' by sayin
There lie that steel-drivin' man Lord Lord
There lie that steel-drivin' man
There lie that steel-drivin' man Oh Lord
There lie that steel-drivin' man
