John Henry, The Steel Driving Man Lyrics - Music With Style..... [original Recordings Remastered] 2cd Set - The Limeliters

#1. When John Henry was just 

a little baby. Sittin' on his Daddy's 

knee. He gave one long and 

lonesome cry, Said, "A hammer 

be the death of me..." (sing 2 times) 

 

#2. John Henry told his captain. 

Said, "A man ain't nothing but a 

man. But before I let your steam 

drill beat me down, I'll die with 

a hammer in my hand..." (2 times) 

 

#3. Well the man that invented 

the steam drill, He thought that he 

was mighty fine. But John Henry 

drove his steal 15 feet, And the 

steam drill drove only nine (2 times) 

 

#4. John Henry kept hammering 

on the mountain. There was lightning 

in his eyes!! He drove so hard that it 

broke his heart And he laid down his 

hammer and he died... (2 times)
