Clang!

Clang!

Hammer Goes Clang!
Hammer against steel
Clang! Clang!
John Henry Irons
Clang
Clang
Steel-driven man
Clang
Clang
Hard working man
Clang! Clang!
Hard-working-man
Clang! Clang!
Mighty Man
Clang! Clang!
“Beat that machine”
Clang! Clang!
“Beat that conductor”
Clang! Clang!
“You better come back home”
Clang! Clang!
Beat that machine
Beat it you nigga
Knock its bolts out
Told my wife
I’d come back
Clang! Clang!
Blinded with sweat
Muscles in pain
Eyes goin dim
Hear bout to burst
Beat that machine!
Beat that machine!
Beat that machine!
Not just a man
A steel-driven man
A mighty black man
A mighty good man
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Clang!
Keep on clanging
Keep on clanging
Clanging into heaven
Clanging into heaven
Clanging into heaven
Clanging into heaven
Clanging into heaven
Clanging into heaven
Clanging into heaven
Clanging into heaven
Clanging into heaven
