Lyrics
Doing time in 'bama on a county farm
Working off my sentence, in the gravel yard
Chained to my brethern, the work is mighty hard
With nothing but a hammer song to sing
My name is big Bill Johnson, married to Della Mae
When I was a free man, I gave her all my pay
Lead me to a life of crime and all I got to say
I have another hammer song to sing
I got this 9lbs. hammer, and I let the sucker swing
It sounds of the guitar and the banjo ring
I led a life full of work and crime, and neither one did pay
Nothing but a hammer song to sing
Shackled up in this rock pit, everyday the same
They call me by a number and never by my name
Everynight when the sun goes down, I take the time to pray
God please end this hammer song I sing.
I got this 9lbs. hammer, and I let the sucker swing
It sounds of the guitar and the banjo ring
I led a life full of work and crime, and neither one did pay
Nothing but a hammer song to sing
Nothing but a hammer song to sing
Nothing but a hammer song to sing, oh lord.
