[1] Can't you hear the ripple of my big spike [6m] hammer
[4] Lord it's busting my [6m] side
[1] I've done all I can do to keep that [6m] woman
[4] Still she's not [6m] satisfied [5]

[1] 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
This spike hammer that I swing for a dollar and a half a day
It's all for my Della Mae

While I've been lots of places not much I ain't done
There's still a lot of things I'd like to see
But this hammer that I swing or the woman that I love
Yeah one's gonna be the death of me

[6m] Big Spike Hammer
