John Henry - Traditional Bluegrass Song - Lyrics & Chords Included!

This is the best set I ever played. We only rehearsed for about 15-20 minutes. The results were amazing!

[G] Well John Henry was a little baby boy, no bigger than the palm of your [D] hand
he [G] picked up a hammer and he said lord, lord
Said Henry's gonna be a [D] steel drivin' [G] man, oh, lord now
Henry's gonna be a [D] steel drivin' [G] man

Now John Henry had a little woman
Her name was Polly Anne
One day John got sick and couldn't go to work
Polly drove steel like a man, lord, lord,
Polly drove steel like a man

@Adeptmind

Thanks so much! We had a ball!

[Adeptmind]

@JoshWMusic1 which instrument were you playing?

[JoshWMusic1]

@Adeptmind

I am the guitarist. Why?

[Adeptmind]

@JoshWMusic1 I was just wondering. I noticed you play with a lot of different people. Do you have any more videos playing with those same people. Especially that guy on the banjo?

[JoshWMusic1]

@Adeptmind

I play with a whole lot of people.... Anybody that will have me... I do have a little more with him if you go on my channel and look around a bit.

[lucripet]

Some of you boys look like me. The ones that do not use Grecian Formula. Well I just want to say thanks for your musical talent and when I come to town I hope to catch your show.

[lucripet]

@51362879

Thanks so much! LOL Didn't even realize the dislike. HAHA Maybe you're right, they're like a disease. They spread!!!

[51362879]

This is some great bluegrass. Who's the queer that voted dislike? Some Justin Bieber fan?

@LackadaisicalE

Thanks so much! Gary really does belt this one out! I believe this is my most viewed video now!

[LackadaisicalE]

Awesome! You really got to the spirit of the number, its world class blue grass in my book. Ima wailing along on my harp here :D

@bucknorrismusic

I just listened to a CD of this ste that the sound man made for me. My picking is loud and clear on the recording, I don't know why it's muffled here.

[JoshWMusic1]

@nasty5oh

Heck yeah, Bob is one of the best in the state, IMO. Thanks so much!

[nasty5oh]

This is great... banjo really sounding good

[JoshWMusic1]

@allshookup1977

Thanks so much FrAnK! Glad you like it! Much more to come!

[allshookup1977]

@Urankar3

Thanks Urankar! Glad you liked it!

[JoshWMusic1]

@thunderroadtrucks

Thanks so much, this whole set is bluegrass, so keep an eye out!

[JoshWMusic1]

@bucknorrismusic

Maybe, but that's bluegrass, fast and aggressive. I don't know what happened, the last break was supposed to be mine, but Gary gave it to Glenn, which confused both of us. I get my spotlight time in the next few songs though.

[thunderroadtrucks]

great!!! good musicians and singing. i like the way gary belted out this song. i could listen to this type of bluegrass all day.

[bucknorrismusic]

Great stuff Josh. I think this might be a little more uptempo than the song was intended but it works I would say. How come you didn't get featured? Looked like you were doing a lot of picking.

[Urankar3]

Hey Josh and all........Yiiiiiiihhhhhhaaaaa­a!!! WELL DONE AS ALWAYS*****
