John Henry when he was a baby,sittin down on his mammy's knee.
Picked up a hammer in his little right hand.
He said that'll be the death of me.me,me.
That hammer gonna be the death of me.
Woody acented the C with an open shut run
On the forth string second fret but its optional.
Sorry for not having all the lyrics
