Lyrics
It was early one morning,
And it looked like rain.
Right round that curve,
Lawd, I spied a gravel train.
O, my little John Henry,

Chorus:
God amighty knows,
O, my little John Henry,
God amighty knows.

Got a woman in Dallas,
Work in the Baker Hotel,
Some call her Maggie;
Her name, Katy Bell. (Chorus)

“Now, where’d you get yo’ learnin’?
Please tell it to me”.
“On the Gulf, Colorado,
And de Santa Fe”. (Chorus)

Now, when you get a section,
Let me be yo’ straw,
And when you get a daughter,
Let me be yo’ son-in-law. (Chorus)
