John henry was born At the crack of dawn His mama named henry And a daddy named john His daddy predicted that While john was growin' He would be wild Like the wind that was blowin'
That morn he was born Was a hurricane Thunder and lightning And pouring rain He's exciting to see Like the storm he was born in He took my heart and soul Without a warning
So treat me nice Don't be mean, john henry Make the girl's faces green with envy And I'm gonna give you All the love that's in me John henry, john henry
Oh, rock of a man You're thrillin' me I'll take your hand So willingly Ready to go Wherever you lead me Long as I know You'll always need me
Oh, johnny, you are my hero Without you my life is a zero So whether I'm happy or in misery In your arms is where I have to be now
So treat me nice Don't be mean, john henry Make the girl's faces green with envy And I'm gonna give you All the love that's in me John henry, john henry
Henry, you know You've got me goin' My love for you Keeps growing and a growing
Treat me nice Don't be mean, john henry Make the girl's faces green with envy And I'm gonna give you All the love that's in me John henry, john henry
