Big Spike Hammer


     Can't you hear the whistle of my big spike hammer
     Lord it's busting my side
     I've done all I can do to keep that woman happy
     Still she's not satisfied

     [ Hey hey Della Mae            ]
     [ Why do you treat me this way ]
     [ Hey hey Della Mae            ]
     [ I'll get even some day       ]

     I'm the best hammer swinger on this big section gang
     Big Bill Johnson is my name
     Lord this hammer that I swing for a dollar and a half a day
     I'll all for my Della Mae

     Now I've been lots of places, not much I ain't done
     There's still alot of things I'd like to see
     Lord this hammer that I swing or the woman that I love
     Yes, one's gonna be the death of me
