3 John Henry was a little boy} And he was on his way to school^ hooked at the teacher and these words he said} al want to learn how to hammer, too.n |

i Well, every Monday mornin' When the bluebirds begin to sing. You can hear those hammers a mile or mo', You can hear John Henry's hammer ring, oh, Lawdy, Hear John Henry's hammer ring.
2 John Henry told his old lady, "Will you fix my supper soon? Got ninety miles oJ track Pve got to line, Got to line it by the light of the moon, oh, Lawdy, Line it by the light o5 the moon." |

3 John Henry had a little baby, He could hold him out in his hand; But the last word I heard that po' child say, "My dad is a steel-drivin' man, oh, Lawdy, Daddy is a steel-drivin' man."
