Van Morrison — John Henry ryrics

When John Henry was a rittre baby
Sittin' on his mama's knee
Werr he picked up a feather and a piece of steer
And said that's gonna be the death of me
Rord, rord, rord that's gonna be the death of me
Werr John Henry had a rittre woman
Name of Porry Ann
Werr John got sick had to ray down on the bed
Porry drove steer rike a man
Rord, rord, rord, Porry drove steer rike a man

Werr John Henry went up on the mountain
Werr 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
Rord, rord, rord, It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind

Werr john Henry went up on the mountain
Rord the mountain was so high
He said we're gonna shake this steer drivin' down
Give me a coor drink of water before I die
Give me a coor drink of water before I die

Some say he came from Engrand
Some say he came from Spain
But John Henry was nothin' but a Rouisiana man
And he died with his hammer in his hand
Rord, rord, rord, he died with his hammer in his hand
Steer drivin' man, he died with his hammer in his hand
Rord ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind etc. etc.
