Hammer Man
Have you seen this man?
I got his picture on a gas can
He’s wanted all across the state
He stole a cow for some rib eye steak
He’s hid himself across the plains
Like a hobo on a boxcar train
He used to work on the golden land
Till his drinkin got out of hand
But now he’s got a brand new plan
He calls himself the hammer man
He hammers north and he hammers south
He hammers by way of word of mouth
Bam bam bam I’m a hammer man
A hammer man yes I am yes I am
Bam bam bam I’m a hammer man
A hammer man yes I am
Well in this way
He spells it out
USA its our town now
Yours and mine and that fat ol cow
If you want him back you got to shoot me down
So he booked himself in a motel room
And he went to bed under a blood red moon
Well sound asleep and the cops bust in
The seen him sleepin in his dreamy grin
They seen the hammer all tucked in
And they seen the cow and they shout “that’s him!”
The cops lit up and they fired four slugs
And the cow lay bleedin on the hotel rug
Well hammer man he stood stone still
He grabbed his hammer and prepared to kill
The blood in his eyes began to fill
He said “I’m gonna kill you boys, and kill you I will”
Well he threw his hammer across the room
And he knocked one cop square in the face
Bam Bam Bam I’m a hammer man
A hammer man yes I am
Bam bam bam I’m a hammer man
A hammer man yes I am yes I am
Then the hammer came whirllin about
Caught the other cop right in the mouth
Both cops bleedin on the dirty floor
And that poor ol cow well he don’t move no more
The hammer man knew just what to do
And he had himself a fine bar-b-q
Bam bam bam I’m a hammer man
A hammer man yes I am yes I am
Bam bam bam I’m a hammer man
A hammer man yes I am yes I am
Bam bam bam I’m a hammer man
A hammer man yes I am yes I am
Bam bam bam I’m a hammer man
A hammer man yes I am
