John Henry Hugh Laurie
[Verse 1]
[C]John Henry had a little woman
And the dress she wore was red
[Am]She walked down the track
[F]She never looked back
[Cborus]
I'm goin[Am]g where John Henry fell [F]dead
I'm goin[Am]g where John Henry fell [C]dead
[Verse 2]
[C]John Henry had another woman
And her name was Polly Anne
[Am]John Henry was taken sick
[F]And he had to go to bed
[Cborus]
Polly An[Am]ne drove steel like a[F] man
Polly An[Am]ne drove steel like a[C] man
[Verse 3]
[C]John Henry told his little woman
Honey fix my supper soon
[Am]I got ninety-nine miles
[F]Of track I wanna line back
[Cborus]
I'm gonna [Am]line 'em by the light of the [F]moon
I'm gonna [Am]line 'em by the light of the [C]moon
[Verse 4]
[C]John Henry said to his captain
You know a man ain't nothin' but a man
[Am]I'm bettin' right now you won't [F]beat me down
[Cborus]
I'm gonna [Am]die with my hammer in my[F] hand
I'm gonna [Am]die with my hammer in my[C] hand
[Verse 5]
[C]John Henry hammered in the mountain
Until his hammer caught on fire
[Am]The last word's I heard that the [F]poor boy said
[Cborus]
[Am]Give me a cool drink of water before [F]I die
[Am]Give me a cool drink of water before [C]I die (x3)
