The Hammer & The Nail

1, 2, 1, 2, 3...

I went on down, down to the river

Went on down to see what I could find

Didn't see much, whole lotta nothin'

Except for a school that be takin' on a ride

[Chorus]

Oh Lord! Oh, I should've known, babe

Oh Lord! OOOOh! Now I shoulda known, shoulda known, Mama, now I shoulda known

Thinkin' that you're hard as nails, hopin' that hammer don't fall

You're thinkin' that you're hard as nails, hopin' that hammer don't fall, baby

Talkin' bout the hammer, Whoo! the hammer and the nail

(That's right, Oh yeah, Tell ya a story)

I went on back, back to the river

I went on back, think it wasn't long.

And as I stood, and stared into the water

I just realized that I bought a dancin' song

[Chorus]

(Man)

[Solo]

You're thinkin' that you're hard as nails, hopin' that hammer don't fall, baby

You're thinkin' that you're hard as nails, hopin' that hammer don't fall

Talkin' bout the hammer, Whoo! the hammer and the nail
