lyrics

THIS OLD HAMMER


Down at the Public House

`Talking “double-dutch”

Man asked me what I’m up to

I said not much.

Fixin’ my daughter’s room

Washed out by the flood

Not the daughter from my first

But blood on blood


Puttin’ up drywall

Truth be told

Puttin’ up insulation

Keep away the cold

Using my Dad’s tools

Like he’s standin’ beside me

Man said, “he got it ya- picture he could see”

CHORUS: This old hammer seen a lot of nails

This old hammer raised a lot of sails

This old hammer ‘round when I’m gone

This old hammer even built this song.



Rememberin’ Dad’s hands

Sound ringing stee;

Ardox and straight

What is fake what is real

Sittin’ on the barn roof

Seein’ the wide wide world

Measurin’ twice cuttin’ once I was told


Saws and chisels

Levels too

Built myself a work shed

To get out of the blue

Love this old hammer

Nail gun won’t do

Guess I’m my Father’s son

Through in through

CHORUS: This old hammer seen a lot of nails

This old hammer raised a lot of sails

This old hammer - ‘round when I’m gone

This old hammer even built this song.




Gonna sit down

Have a beer

Gonna rag off

My dog’s ear

She listens to me

When others don’t

Best friend I ever had

And that ain’t no joke.


CHORUS: This old hammer seen a lot of nails

This old hammer raised a lot of sails

This old hammer - ‘round when I’m gone

This old hammer even built this song


Outro: Down at the Cameron House

` Talking “double-dutch”

Man asked me what I’m up to

I said not much
