This is a great song! I don't know if John Henry was really a man, but if he was, he sure was bad ass! (Just like Johnny) I like how John Henry works so hard day in and day out until he dies, and he doesn't complain. I like how he keeps on living life and providing for his family and loving them. Anyway...I'm rambling. I really like the song. Such a good story.
