Osborne Brothers - Big Spike Hammer lyrics

rate me

(Bobby Osborne - Pete Goble)

Can't you hear the ripple on my big spike hammer

Lord, it's bustin' 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-a-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

Lord this 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-a-way

Hey, hey, Della Mae

I'll get even some day.

--- Instrumental ---

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

There's still lotta things I'd like to see

Big spike hammer that I swing or the woman I love

One's gonna be the death of me.

Hey, hey, Della Mae

Why do you treat me this-a-way

Hey, hey, Della Mae

I'll get even some day.

Big spike hammer, big spike hammer...
