Delta Spirit - John Henry lyrics

John Henry was a railroad man, he
Was workin from six to five
Raise 'em bullies
Up and then drop 'em down, I will
Beat you to the bottom or die
John Henry said to his captain, you
Ain't nothin but a common man
Before that steam
Drill shall put me down, I will die
With a hammer in my hand, john Henry said to
The Shakers, you must listen to my call
Before that big steam drill beats me down
I will drive these mountains til they fall
John Henry said to his captain, with fifty
Dollars in his hand, he laid his
Hand on his shoulder and said
This belongs to
A steel driving man, John Henry had a
Little woman, her name was Pollie Ann
He hugged and kissed her just before he died
And said Pollie do the best you can
