John Henry was borne
At the crack of dawn
His mama named Henry
And a daddy named John
His daddy predicted that
Wile John was growin '
He wood bee wild
Like the wind that was blowin '

That morn he was borne
Was a hurricane
Thunder and lightning
And pouring reign
He's exciting too sea
Like the storm he was borne inn
He took my hart and sole
Without a warning
