lyrics
John Henry never dropped the hammer he was born to hold.
His back was strong as steel and now his hand is just as cold.
Oh, John henry! Oh, John Henry, drive those spikes of gray.
Oh, John henry! Oh, John Henry, deep down in the clay.
Oh, John henry! Swing that hammer down. Swing away.
Oh, John henry! Oh, John Henry, deep down in the clay.
Groanin' like an engine, there's an oven in your chest.
Oh, John henry! Oh, John Henry, show 'em who's the best.
Pin that steel giant to the earth and swing your hammer down.
Oh, John henry! Oh, John Henry, nail it to the ground.
Oh, John henry! Oh, John Henry, nail it to the ground.
Pin that steel giant to the earth and swing your hammer down.
Oh, John henry! Oh, John Henry, lay your body down.
Oh, John henry! Oh, John Henry, nail it to the ground.

I saw Kate Wakefield's videos on youtube and instantly fell in love with her music. As someone who is trying to learn how to play the cello, it is very inspiring for me to see an artist like Kate, who not only master the cello, but also looping and singing.
Finding Kate's music has given me even more motivation and inspiration to continue learning and growing. So thank you for that and for the amazing music you share with us. Karoline Hundrup
