sitting on the his papa's knee
坐在妈妈温暖的怀里
He picked up a hammer and little piece of steel

Said"Hammer's gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord
说我死也要守护这些东西妈妈
Hammer's gonna be the death of me"
我死也要守护这东西
Now, the captain said to John Henry
然而导演告诉唐娜
"Gonna bring that steam drill 'round
黑人不能演神奇女侠
Gonna bring that sterm drill out on the job
要她把手镯腰带交给卡华
Gonna whop that steel on down, Lord, Lord
他说男人都爱金发大白腿哈哈

John Henry told his captain
唐娜只好哀求导演
"A man ain't nothing but a man
神奇女侠不只是靠脸
But before I let your steam drill beat me down
就算你收了钱要让犹太演
I'd die with a hammer in my hand, Lord, Lord
她也要扛过戏里的强奸戏嚯嚯
I'd die with a hammer in my hand"
她要扛过戏里的强奸
John Henry said to his shaker
唐娜现在望着卡华
"Shaker, why don't you sing?
小样你怎么不敢说话
I'm throwin' thirty pounds from my hips on down
看这钻头在我洞里面进出
Just listen to that cold steel ring, Lord, Lord
听它把我打得全身梆梆响啊啊
Just listen to that cold steel ring"
钻头把我打得梆梆响
Now the man that invented the steam drill

Thought he was mighty fine

But John Henry made fifteen feet
唐娜已经吞下一尺的钻探
The steam drill only made nine, Lord, Lord
但他的机器还能加延长杆嘿嘿
The steam drill only made nine
他的机器还能再延长
John Henry hammered in the mountains
她被活活打成煤炭
His hammer was striking fire
全身汁液都已被榨干
But he worked so hard, he broke his poor heart
然后机器钻太深拔不出来
He laid down his hammer and he died, Lord, Lord
所以冒烟熄火变成了破烂呐呐
He laid down his hammer and he died
机器冒烟然后变破烂
They took John Henry to the graveyard
破烂被扔进垃圾堆
And they buried him in the sand
唐娜连在一起不合嘴
And every locomotive comes a-roaring by
每架飞机从好莱坞上飞过
Says"There lies a steel-driving man, Lord, Lord
都说这里埋着钢铁的黑妹诶诶
Here lies a steel-driving man"
