The true, tall tale of a freed slave who worked on a railroad. | John Henry and the Railroad

[Larry the boss]

[Emerson Periott]

The Skillet Lickers were totally racist, they have a song about watermelons, one tune of theirs.....Run N Run. So for them to pay homage to John Henry makes ya wonder if they knew he was black. They were without question redneck hicks.
