Will Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 It's a Billy Bragg song, New England - though I guess you're referring to Kirsty MacColl, one of my favourites.Here's another of my favourites, one that's been going round my head for a day or so:"I'm gonna die with a hammer in my hand, Lord, LordDie with a hammer in my hand" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickybear Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Here you go Will.................... JOHN HENRY, STEEL DRIVING MAN John Henry had a little woman, and they called her Polly Ann,Well who gonna glove her pretty little feet,Mama, I'm gonna glove yo hand,Yea I'm gonna glove yo hand.John Henry told his captain, Says "Captain when you go to town,Bring me back a twelve pound hammer,So I can drive your steel on down.Lawd, Lawd, I can drive your steel on down."John Henry said to his captain, "Oh Captain - a man ain't nothin but a man,Just before I die with the hammer in my hand,Lawd, Lawd, I'll die with the hammer in my hand."It's, "Big black negro*" when I'm gone, And it's "Honey, darlin" when I'm home,But as soon as I get a twenty dollar bill,It's "Baby, where you been so long?"Lawd, Lawd, it's "Baby, where you been so long?"John Henry says to his mother, Says "A man ain't nothin but a man,Before I let this steam beat me down,Lawd, I'll die with this hammer in my hand,Lawd, Lawd, I'll die with this hammer in my hand."John Henry, Oh John Henry, John Henry was taken sick,And Polly drove steel like a man,Lawd, Lawd, and Polly drove steel like a man.John Henry said to his father, "If there's one more train I want to ride,That's the Santa Fe, and the Southern Pacific,On that I.C. Railroad line,On that I.C. Railroad line,Oh Lawd, that I.C. Railroad line." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I think that's Joan Armatrading's Love and AffectionMy John Henry, above, was from the Bruce Springsteen version (based on Pete Seeger's version).And now for something completely different (but quite well known)Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil, Going with the flow, it's all the same to me, Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you, Double up or quit, double stake or split, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
