Lyrics

0:25Can't you hear the whistle of my big spike hammer
0:30Lord it's busting my side
0:33I work every day to try to please that woman
0:38And Lord she's never satisfied
0:43Hey hey Della mae
0:48Why do you treat me this way
0:51Della mae oh Della mae
0:56I'll get even some day
1:20I'm the best hammer swinger in this whole section gang
1:24Big bill Johnson is my name
1:28I swing this old hammer for a dollar and a
1:31Half a day
1:32And it's all for my Della mae
1:38Hey hey Della mae
1:42Why do you treat me this way
1:46Della mae oh Della mae
1:50I'll get even some day
2:35I've been lots of places and there's lots of things
2:38I've done
2:39And still some things I wanna see
2:43This hammer that I swing for the woman that I
2:46Love
2:47One of them's gonna be the death of me
2:52Hey hey Della mae
2:57Why do you treat me this way
3:00Della mae oh Della mae
3:05I'll get even some day
Can't you hear the whistle of my big spike hammer
Lord it's busting my side
I work every day to try to please that woman
And Lord she's never satisfied
Hey hey Della mae
Why do you treat me this way
Della mae oh Della mae
I'll get even some day
I'm the best hammer swinger in this whole section gang
Big bill Johnson is my name
I swing this old hammer for a dollar and a
Half a day
And it's all for my Della mae
Hey hey Della mae
Why do you treat me this way
Della mae oh Della mae
I'll get even some day
I've been lots of places and there's lots of things
I've done
And still some things I wanna see
This hammer that I swing for the woman that I
Love
One of them's gonna be the death of me
Hey hey Della mae
Why do you treat me this way
Della mae oh Della mae
I'll get even some day
