J'ai roulé ma bosse
Sur tous les chemins,
Quand un jour la chance
M'a fait trouver enfin
Un marteau d'or {2x}
Il brillait comme un' couronne
Sous le soleil de midi.
Que le Bon Dieu me pardonne,
Il venait du paradis,
Ce marteau d'or {2x}
Je vois ma vie qui s'transforme
Et j'y prends goût à nouveau.
Tous mes rêves prennent forme
Grâce à ce sacré marteau,
Ce marteau d'or {2x}
Tout à coup voici un homme,
Un fusil entre ses mains.
Il me dit: "Il y a maldonne.
C'est à moi qu'il appartient,
Ce marteau d'or {2x}
O, mon Dieu, il faut comprendre,
Le ciel en était témoin.
J'voulais seulement me défendre,
Mais je serrais dans mes poings
Ce marteau d'or {2x}
Il tomba sans connaissance
Avant d'ajouter un mot,
Mais au milieu du silence
J'entendis comme un écho
Ce marteau d'or {2x}
C'est à qui perd gagne
Que j'ai joué mon sort.
J'ai perdu mon âme,
Car un homme est mort
Pour un marteau d'or
