John Henry was a little baby

               C  G     A
Sittin' on his daddy's knee

          D                 G
He picked up a hammer and a little 
piece of steel

            D              A      
And cried, "Hammer's gonna be 

     D         G
death of me, Lord, Lord

D              A              D
Hammer's gonna be the death of me"



D
Now the captain he said to John 
Henry

                       C     G    
"I'm gonna bring that steam drill 

  A
around

         D                       G
I'm gonna bring that steam drill out
 on these tracks

           D          A        D 
I'm gonna knock that steel on 

         G
down, God, God

           D          A       D
I'm gonna knock that steel on down"



D
John Henry told his captain

                  C       G     A
"Lord a man ain't nothin' but a man

     D                          
But 'fore I let that steam drill 

 G
beat me down

           D          A         
I'm gonna die with a hammer in my 

   D           G
hand, Lord, Lord

      D          A           D
I'll die with a hammer in my hand"

That steam drill driving on the left

        D                          
Says, "'fore I let your steam drill

 G
 beat me down

           D        A       D    
I'm gonna hammer myself to death,

        G
 Lord, Lord,

      D         A           D
I'll hammer my fool self to death"



D
Well captain said to John Henry

              C     G  A
"What is that storm I hear?"

      D                        
John Henry said, "That ain't no 

 G
storm captain

        D       A             D  
That's just my hammer in the air,

        G
 Lord, Lord

        D       A            D
That's just my hammer in the air"



D
John Henry said to his shaker

             C     G    A
"Shaker, why don't you sing?

           D                    
Cause I'm swingin' thirty pounds 

         G
from my hips on down

       D            A          D 
Yeah, listen to my cold steel 

         G
ring, Lord Lord

D             A         D
Listen to my cold steel ring"



D
John Henry he hammered in the 
mountains

                C    G   A
His hammer was striking fire

        D                G
But he worked so hard it broke his 
heart

      D          A                
John Henry laid down his hammer 

   D           G
and died, Lord, Lord

      D          A                
John Henry laid down his hammer 

  D
and died



D
Now John Henry he had him a woman

               C  G  A
By the name of Polly Ann

            D                 
She walked out to those tracks 

           G
picked up John Henry's hammer

     D           A            D  
And Polly drove steel like a man,

        G
 Lord, Lord

 D                A           D
Polly drove that steel like a man



D
Well every, every Monday morning

                    C      G  A
When a blue bird he begins to sing

         D                     G
You can hear John Henry from a mile 
or more

         D         A           
You can hear John Henry's hammer 

   D           G
ring, Lord, Lord

         D         A             
You can hear John Henry's hammer 

D
ring

               D         A     
I said you can hear John Henry's 

         D           G
hammer ring, Lord, Lord

         D         A             
You can hear John Henry's hammer
