The Legend Of John Henry's Hammer
Tom: AMédioA

C

Johnny AHenry's pappy woke him up one midnight,
he said, "Before the sheriff comes, I wanEna tell you,
"Said "Listen boy,
leAarn to hoist a jack and learn to Dlay a track A
learn to pick and shovel, too, and take that hammer,
it'll Ado anyEthing you tell Ait to."
John Henry's mammy had about a dozen Ababies,
John Henry's pappy broke jail a doEzen times,
the Ababies all got sick and when Dthe doctor wanAted money,
he said, "I'll pay you a quarter at a time, startin' tomorrow,
that's the Apay for a steel Edriver on Athis line."
Then the Asection foreman said, "Hey! Hammer-swinger !
I see you brought your own hammer, boy, but,
what else can all them muscles do?" And he said,
"AI can hoist a jack, Dand I can lay Aa track, I can pick and shovel, too."
He said, "Can you swing a hammer?"
And he said,A Do anytEhing you hire mAe to." G
"NGow ain't you somethin' ! You so high and mighty
with all that muscle! Go ahead, boy, pick up that hammer,
and show me what you can do!"
G C G He said, a rusted spike and swing that hammer down three times,
I'll pay you a nickel a day for every inch you sink it to.
Go Gon and do what Dyou say you can Gdo !
With a sGteep-nosed hammer on a four foot switch handle,
John Henry raised it back til' it touched Dhis heels, then
the sGpike went through the cross-tie Cand it split it Ghalf in two.
Thirty-five cents a day for drivin' steel.
"Sweat ! Sweat, boy ! Sweat ! Only two more Dswings !"
Said, "I was Cborn driviGn' steeEl."
Well, now, EJohn Henry hammered in the mountain,
he'd give a grunt, and he give a groan with evB7ery swing,
the women-Efolks from miles arouAnd heard him and Ecome down
they watch make the cold-steel ring "Lord ! What a swinger !
WEatch him make the B7cold-steEel ring.G"
Then the bGad boys came up laughin' at John Henry,
they said," You full of vinegar now, but you bout' Dthrough!
We Ggonna get a steamdrill to Cdo your shaGre of drivin' ,
then what's all them muscles gonna do? Huh? John Henry?
Gonna Gtake a little bit Dof vinegar out Gof you."
John GHenry said, "I feed four little brothers,
and my baby sister walkin' on her knDees.
Now, did Gthe Lord say that machines ougCht to take the pGlace of livin'?
And what's a substitute for bread and beans ? I ain't seen it !
Do Gengines get Drewarded for theGir steam?
G Then John Henry said to his captain,
said, "A man ain't nothin' but Da man,
but you can bGring that steamdrill 'round IC'll beat it fair anGd honest.
I'll die with that hammer in my hand, but I'll be laughin',
'cause you Gcan't replace a Dsteel-driviGn' man.
There was a Gbig crowd of people at the mountain,
John Henry said to the steam-drill, "How Dis you?
Said, me, Mister Steamdrill,
I suppose you didn't hear me, I said : How are you!
Can Gyou hoist a jack? Can you Glay a track?
Can you pick and shovel too?
Listen, Gthis hammer-swingeDr's talkGin' to you.
Two thoGusand people hollered, "Go John Henry !"
then somebody hollered," The mountain's Dcavin' in !"
John GHenry told his captin,"Tell Cthe kind folks, Gdon worry,
it ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind, it keeps me breathin',
this sGteel-driver's Dmuscle, it ainG't thin.E
"CEaptain, tell the people to move back farther,
I'm at the finish line and there ain't B7no drill
It's Eso far behind that it donA't got the brains Eto quit it
when she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills Lord, Lord,
when Eshe blows up she'B7ll scatter cross Ethe Ghills."
Well, GJohn Henry had a little woman,
I believe the lady's name was PaulDie Ann.
Yeah that was his good woman.
John Henry threw his hammer over his shoulder and he went on home.
Early next mornin' he said, "Come here, Paulie-Ann, come here, sugar.
Said, know, I been laying here watching that sun come up,
and I believe this is the first time I seen the sun come up that I couldn come up with it.
He said, that hammer, Paulie-Ann, go to that railroad, and when you swing it at the lead men,
you tell him that ain't all I can do, tell 'em.
GI could hoist a jack Cand I could layG a track, I could pick and shovel, too,
ain't no machine can,G that's bDeen proved Gto you!
There wGas a big crowd of mourners at the church house,
the section hands laid him in Dthe sand,
Gtrains go by on the rails John Henry laid.
They slow down and take off the hats, when they come to
where he layin, restin his back. They say, "Mornin', Steel-driver, you sure was a
hammer-swinger." Then they go on by pickin' up a little bit of speed. Clickity clack.
Yeah, yGonder lies a steel-drivin' man, Lord, Lord,
yonder lies a sDteel-driviGn' man.A
Yeah, Ayonder lies a steel-drivin' man, Lord, Lord,
yonder lies a sEteel-driviAn' man.

The Gambler

About A20 years ago, on a train bound for nowhDere I met up with The GAambler
We were both too tired to sleep E
ASo we took turns a starin' through the window at the darkneDss A
Til' boredom ovDertook us and he comAmenced to speaEk A
He said: Son, IA've made a life out of readin' people's fDaces A
And knowin' what their cards were, by the way they held their eyes E
AAnd if you don't mind my sayin', I would say you're ouDt of aces A
"And for Done taste of your whiskey, I will giveA you some advice E A
So I handAed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swDallow A
Then he bummed a cigarette; then he bummed a light E
AThe night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expreDssion. A
He said: If youD're gonna play the game, boy, you beAtter learn to play it right E A
A'Cos ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survival D A
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep E
AAnd ev'ry hand's a winner, just like ev'ry hand's a loser D A
And the best thDat you can hope for is to Adie in your sleep E A
You got to know whAen to hold 'em, know when to fold D'em A
DKnow when to walk away; kAnow when to run E
You don't ever couAnt your money while you're sittin' at the table D A
There'll be time enouDgh for countin' when tAhe dealin' is done E A
You got to know whAen to hold 'em, know when to fold D'em A
DKnow when to walk away; kAnow when to run E
You don't ever couAnt your money while you're sittin' at the table D A
There'll be time enouDgh for countin' when tAhe dealin' is done E A
And when Ahe finished speakin', he turned back t'ward the winDdow A
Put out his cigarette; faded off to sleep E
And somewAhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even D A
But in his final wDords I found an ace thAat I could keep E A
You got to know whAen to hold 'em, know when to fold D'em A
DKnow when to walk away; kAnow when to run E
You don't ever couAnt your money while you're sittin' at the table D A
There'll be time enouDgh for countin' when tAhe dealin' is done E A

When Uncle Bill Quit Dope

My first ever tab here so might not be perfect but I've noticed no one else has had an attempt at this
so here's how I play it.
Also when playing C alternate between having your ring finger 3rd threat from the A string to low E string.
This is what Johnny was doing so watch his video if you don't understand.
CWell Uncle Bill was my Mothers Brother,
Ftall lanky maCn
CBut somewhere back in Uncle Bill's life, he took to sniffing cocaine.
CI'd find him out in the back yard,
Fsitting against a treeC.
CHis eyes bugged out in a cocaine stare,
Fand his mind in a cocaine dreaCm.
CWell one fall day when Uncle Bill was
Fhaving a cocaine fitC,
CHe said Louise this Gcoke's no good
Fand I've made up my mind to quiCt.
CNow you take this key and I'lGl go upstairs and
Fthen you lock the dooCr,
Cand Lord I swear I Gwont come down,
Ftill I don't want dope no moreC.
CWell he stomped the floor and he Gbeat the door and he mFoaned a mournful crCy.
CWhen the last cocaine went Gthrough his brain we Fthought he'd surely Cdie.
CHe yelled and he cussed and he feGll on the floor and we Falmost gave up hopCe
CAs long as I live I Gwont forget when FUncle Bill quit dopeC.
CWell for the first few hours we heard not a sound,
Fupstairs was quiet and stilCl.
Cand then all of a sudden we heard a shriek of
Fpain from Uncle BilCl.
CHe bounced out of bed and across the room,
FI heard him break a chaiCr.
CAnd then another scream louder than the first as he
Fripped out a hunk of his haiCr.
CMy Mother kissed us all that night,
Fas brother and I lay in beCd.
CWe wondered if poor old Uncle Bill was
Fdieing or already deaCd.
CBut all night long we listened to him as he
Fraved pleaded and calleCd.
Cand I swear I heard his finger nails tearing the
Fpaper off the wallCs.
CWell he stomped the floor and he Gbeat the door and he mFoaned a mournful crCy.
CWhen the last cocaine went Gthrough his brain we Fthought he'd surely Cdie.
CHe yelled and he cussed and he feGll on the floor and we Falmost gave up hopCe
CAs long as I live I Gwont forget when FUncle Bill quit dopeC.
CAfter fourteen days and nights of hell, it
Fgrew quiet over heaCd.
CAnd I peered past mother, as she unlocked the door
Fexpecting to find him deaCd.
CBut to my surprise there was Uncle Bill, as
Fshiny as a brand new dCollar.
CHis hair was combed and his beard was gone,
Fhe'd grown two inches talleCr.
CIn his old blue suite and his patterned shoes, he was
Fquite a sight to seCe.
CThe light was back in his deep blue eyes, he
Fturned to mother and mCe.
CHe said Louise I've been through hell and I
Fnearly went insanCe.
CBut I finally beat the devils habit, I
Fbeat the demon cocainCe.
CWell he stomped the floor and he Gbeat the door and he mFoaned a mournful crCy.
CWhen the last cocaine went Gthrough his brain we Fthought he'd surely Cdie.
CHe screamed and he hollered and hGe fell on the floor andF we almost gave upC hope
CAs long as I live I Gwont forget when FUncle Bill quit dopeC.

It was taller by A7half; Than the Dold man himGself
Though it Dweighed not a A7penny-weight Dmore;
It was Dbought on the morn; Of the dGay that he was bDorn

But it Dstopped A7short - neDver to B7go agEmain

AmBilly Joe was edgy,
