"I beat them," he said. His wife cried out, "Don't go, John Henry." "Bring me a cool drink of water," he said. Then he took his last breath.
Friends carried his body from the mountain. They buried him near the house where he was born. Crowds went there after they heard about John Henry's death.
Soon, the steam drill and other machines replaced the steel-drivers. Many laborers left their families, looking for work. They took the only jobs they could find. As they worked, some sang about John Henry.约翰·亨利跌到在地上。死一般的寂静。波莉·安一动不动,因为她知道发生了什么事。约翰·亨利的血洒在地上。但他仍旧持着他的锤子。“我打败他们了”他说。他的妻子哭了，“不要走，约翰。”“给我一杯凉水，”他说。之后他就咽气了。他的朋友将他的身体从山上抬走。他们将他埋在了他出生地的附近。群众听说约翰死了就都跑去了。很快，蒸汽钻机和其他机器取代了钢铁技师。许多工人离开了他们的家庭去找寻工作。他们只能找到他们能做的工作。当他们工作的时候，一些关于约翰的歌曲在他们中间传唱。
