John Henry Lyrics – Pete Seeger
Singer: Pete Seeger
Title: John Henry
John Henry was about three days old,
Sittin’ on his papa’s knee.
He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel;
Said, “Hammer’s gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord.
Hammer’s gonna be the death of me.”
The captain said to John Henry
“Gonna bring that steam drill ’round.
Gonna bring that steam drill out on the job.
Gonna whop that steel on down. Down,
Down.
Whop that steel on down.”
John Henry told his captain,
“A man ain’t nothin’ but a man,
But before I let your steam drill beat me
Down,
I’d die with a hammer in my hand. Lord,
Lord.
I’d dies with a hammer in my hand.”
John Henry said to his shaker,
“Shaker, why don’t you sing?
I’m throwin’ thirty pounds from my hips on
Down.
Just listen to that cold steel ring. Lord, Lord.
Listen to that cold steel ring.”
The man that invented the stream drill
Thought he was mighty fine,
But John Henry made fifteen feet;
The steam drill only made nine. Lord, Lord.
The steam drill only made nine.
John Henry hammered in the mountain
His hammer was striking fire.
But he worked so hard, he broke his poor
Heart.
He laid down his hammer and he died. Lord,
Lord.
He laid down his hammer and he died.
John Henry had a little woman.
Her name was Polly Ann.
John Henry took sick and went to his bed.
Polly Ann drove steel like a man. Lord,
Lord.
Polly Ann drove steel like a man.
John Henry had a little baby.
You could hold him in the palm of your
Hand.
The last words I heard that poor boy say,
“My daddy was steel-driving man. Lord,
Lord.
My daddy was a steel-driving.”
Well, every Monday morning
When the bluebirds begin to sing.
You can hear John Henry a mile or more.
You can hear John Henry’s hammer ring.
Lord, Lord.
You can hear John Henry’s hammer ring.

John Henry – Terjemahan / Translation
John Henry berusia sekitar tiga hari,
Duduk di lutut Papa-Nya.
Dia mengambil palu dan sedikit baja;
Berkata, “Hammer akan menjadi kematianku, Tuhan, Tuhan.
Hammer akan menjadi kematianku. ”
Kapten berkata kepada John Henry
“Akan membawa bor uap itu.
Akan membawa latihan uap di tempat kerja.
Akan memukul baja itu. Turun,
Turun.
Memukul baja itu. ”
John Henry memberi tahu kaptennya,
“Seorang pria bukan apa-apa selain pria,
Tetapi sebelum saya membiarkan bor uap Anda mengalahkan saya
Turun,
Aku akan mati dengan palu di tanganku. Tuan,
Tuan.
Aku akan mati dengan palu di tanganku. ”
John Henry berkata kepada Shaker-nya,
“Shaker, kenapa kamu tidak bernyanyi?
Saya melempar tiga puluh pound dari pinggul saya
Turun.
Dengarkan saja cincin baja dingin itu. Tuhan, Tuhan.
Dengarkan cincin baja dingin itu. ”
Pria yang menemukan bor aliran
Pikir dia baik-baik saja,
Tapi John Henry membuat lima belas kaki;
Bor uap hanya dibuat sembilan. Tuhan, Tuhan.
Bor uap hanya dibuat sembilan.
John Henry memalu di gunung
Palu-nya memukau api.
Tapi dia bekerja sangat keras, dia mematahkan malang
Jantung.
Dia meletakkan palu-nya dan dia meninggal. Tuan,
Tuan.
Dia meletakkan palu-nya dan dia meninggal.
John Henry punya wanita kecil.
Namanya Polly Ann.
John Henry sakit dan pergi ke tempat tidurnya.
Polly Ann melaju baja seperti seorang pria. Tuan,
Tuan.
Polly Ann melaju baja seperti seorang pria.
John Henry punya bayi kecil.
Anda bisa memeluknya di telapak tangan Anda
Tangan.
Kata-kata terakhir yang saya dengar bocah malang itu berkata,
“Ayahku adalah pria yang mengemudi baja. Tuhan,
Tuan.
Ayah saya adalah mengemudi baja. ”
Nah, setiap Senin pagi
Ketika bluebird mulai bernyanyi.
Anda dapat mendengar John Henry satu mil atau lebih.
Anda dapat mendengar cincin palu John Henry.
Tuhan, Tuhan.
Anda dapat mendengar cincin palu John Henry.
