Текст песни Van Morrison - John Henry
Van Morrison - John Henry слова песни
When John Henry was a little baby
Sittin` on his mama`s knee
Well he picked up a feather and a piece of steel
And said that`s gonna be the death of me
Lord, lord, lord that`s gonna be the death of me
Well John Henry had a little woman
Name of Polly Ann
Well John got sick had to lay down on the bed
Polly drove steel like a man
Lord, lord, lord, Polly drove steel like a man
Well John Henry went up on the mountain
Well the mountain was sinkin` in
He said come on captain I know what I`m doin`
It ain`t nothin` but my hammer suckin` wind
Lord, lord, lord, It ain`t nothin` but my hammer suckin` wind
Well john Henry went up on the mountain
Lord the mountain was so high
He said we`re gonna shake this steel drivin` down
Give me a cool drink of water before I die
Give me a cool drink of water before I die
Some say he came from England
Some say he came from Spain
But John Henry was nothin` but a Louisiana man
And he died with his hammer in his hand
Lord, lord, lord, he died with his hammer in his hand
Steel drivin` man, he died with his hammer in his hand
Lord ain`t nothin` but my hammer suckin` wind etc. etc.
