Well I think John Henry was born in a small house and in a small town. After he was born his mama came out to the porch with him and he jumped out of his mama's arms and started to grow. And that is how he all started.

John Henry was reportedly born in either East Virginia or North Carolina, but there is no definitive historical record of his birthplace. The legend of John Henry's life and work as a steel-driving man originated in the American South during the late 19th century.
