Jack-Hammer Blues

Jack-Hammer Blues - Woody Guthrie

I'm a jack hammer man from the jack hammer town

Born with a jack hammer in my hand

Lord God I got them jack hammer blues

Jack hammer man from a jack hammer town

I hammer on the hammer till the sun goes down

Oh Lord got them jack hammer blues

Hammered on the Bonneville hammered on the Butte

Columbia river on a ten mile chute

Lord God I got them jack hammer blues

Hammered in the port of Portland Town

I built every port from Alaska down

Lord God I got them jack hammer blues

Gonna hammer on the hammer until I get done

Sixty-six and a Highway One

Lord God I got them jack hammer blues

And a jack hammer woman just sweet as pie

Hammer on the hammer till the day I die

Lord God I got them jack hammer blues

Jack hammer man from a jack hammer town

Born with a jack hammer in my hand

Lord God I got them jack hammer blues

Jack hammer woman just sweet as pie

Hammer on the hammer till the day I die

Lord God I got them jack hammer blues

Well I hammered on the hammer all night long

I hammered for my baby from a-midnight on

Lord God I got them jack hammer blues

Jack hammer man sweet as pie

I hammer on the hammer till the day I die

Lord God I got them jack hammer blues
