(William "Smokey" Robinson)

John Henry was born
|
At the crack of dawn
|
His mama named Henry
|
And a daddy named John
|
His daddy predicted that
|
While John was growin'
|
He would be wild
|
Like the wind that was blowin'
|
|
That morn he was born
|
Was a hurricane
|
Thunder and lightning
|
And pouring rain
|
He's exciting to see
|
Like the storm he was born in
|
He took my heart and soul
|
Without a warning
|
|
So treat me nice
|
Don't be mean, John Henry
|
Make the girl's faces green with envy
|
And I'm gonna give you
|
All the love that's in me
|
John Henry, John Henry
|
|
Oh, rock of a man
|
You're thrillin' me
|
I'll take your hand
|
So willingly
|
Ready to go
|
Wherever you lead me
|
Long as I know
|
You'll always need me
|
|
Oh, Johnny, you are my hero
|
Without you my life is a zero
|
So whether I'm happy or in misery
|
In your arms is where I have to be now
|
|
So treat me nice
|
Don't be mean, John Henry
|
Make the girl's faces green with envy
|
And I'm gonna give you
|
All the love that's in me
|
John Henry, John Henry
|
|
Henry, you know
|
You've got me goin'
|
My love for you
|
Keeps growing and a growing
|
|
Treat me nice
|
Don't be mean, John Henry
|
Make the girl's faces green with envy
|
And I'm gonna give you
|
All the love that's in me
|
John Henry, John Henry
|
|
Treat me nice
|
Don't be mean, John Henry
|
