Big Spike Hammer

Can’t you hear the ripple of my big spike hammer?

Lord it’s busting my side

I’ve done all I can do to keep that woman

Still she’s not satisfied

Hey hey Della Mae

Why do you treat me this way?

Hey hey Della Mae

I’ll get even some day

I’m the best hammer swinger in this big section gang

Big Bill Johnson is my name

This spike hammer that I swing for a dollar and a half a day

It's all for my Della Mae

Hey hey Della Mae

Why do you treat me this way?

Hey hey Della Mae

I’ll get even some day

Well I’ve been lots of places, not much I ain’t done

There’s still a lot of things I’d like to see

But this hammer that I swing or the woman that I love

Yeah one’s gonna be the death of me

Hey hey Della Mae

Why do you treat me this way?

Hey hey Della Mae

I’ll get even some day
