Biografia:
Huddie Ledbetter nasceu em 1885, em Louisiania. Aos 15 já era pai, e já tinha aprendido a tocar acordeon e violão com seu primo e fazia sucesso nas festinhas locais. Aos 16 foi pai pela 2º vez. Segundo a Wikipedia, até os 20 anos ele deve ter feito pelo menos 5 filhos. Sua fama de "garanhão" era grande.
Ele ganhou esse apelido na prisão pelo seu físico "sarado" mesmo. Aliás, até na prisão, entre os guardas e colegas, ele fazia sucesso cantando e tocando; isso até facilitou seu perdão da pena da primeira prisão (foram quatro).

Leadbelly, JOHN HENRY
Leadbelly's intoduction from 'Leadbelly Sings For Children' (recorded circa. 1941):
"John Henry was a steel driving man. Well that's mighty fine. He was a double jointed
I don't guess you knew that.
That's what made him drive so much steel."
D (D5, D6, Dmaj7)
John Henry WAS A newborn baby
A (A5, A6, Amaj7) E
E6, Emaj7)
Sitting down on his mamma's knee
G
Said that big man turned down that sad old road
(minor-flourishes)
D A D A

D A D
It's gonna be the death of me,
It's gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord
It's gonna be the death of me,
