Hammer Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Surprise, my baby, I know you been around (2x)
You've had it free and easy I'm gonna put the hammer down
Seems you just come home, then you're going out again (2x)
Don't you try and kiss me, I don't know where those lips have been
Friends have been talkin', you've been seen all over town (2x)
Well the good times are over I'm gonna put the hammer down
Don't you make excuses, you know I gave you everything (2x)
Don't you hear that hammer whistle? Don't you hear that hammer sing?
Well I may be a fool, but don't you think that I'm blind (2x)
Gonna bring that hammer down, Lord, I'm gonna take what's mine
