John Henry
Well, John Henry, he was a steel driving man
He drove it all over the land
But Johnny, he got sick, he had to lay down into bed
Little Polly, she drove steel like a man, Lord, Lord
Polly drove steel like a man
Oh
Yeah, woo!
Man, I'm tellin' you that's not a man
Well, John Henry had a little woman
She was no bigger than a palm of your hand
Little Polly, she was knockin' a railroad track and picked up a hammer
She drove it in like a man, Lord, Lord
Polly drove a steel like a man
Yeah
Yeah
They took Johnny to the graveyard
They sneaked him six feet under the sand
Every time that locomotive come slow and by
They say, yonder lies a steel driving man, Lord, Lord
Yonder lies a steel driving man
Oh, it's too good to stop now
He drove it all over the land
But Johnny, he got sick, he had to lay down into bed
Little Polly, she drove steel like a man, Lord, Lord
Polly drove steel like a man
Oh
Yeah, woo!
Man, I'm tellin' you that's not a man
Well, John Henry had a little woman
She was no bigger than a palm of your hand
Little Polly, she was knockin' a railroad track and picked up a hammer
She drove it in like a man, Lord, Lord
Polly drove a steel like a man
Yeah
Yeah
They took Johnny to the graveyard
They sneaked him six feet under the sand
Every time that locomotive come slow and by
They say, yonder lies a steel driving man, Lord, Lord
Yonder lies a steel driving man
Oh, it's too good to stop now
