John Henry moved a mountain outta nothing but a hammer and sweat
Well he beat that damn machinery down he said, "You ain't seen nothin yet"
Cause he had himself a woman, well she must have been something like you
When you're a man with a plan, got a hammer in your hand ain't nothin you can't do
When you're the right man
You're the right man
you're the right man
You're the right man for the job
Well there used to be a dude named Samson and he had himself some hair
Well you loved yourself a carpenter, he never ever went to school
He was thick as ol' brown gravy and he had the wrong kind of tool
