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.
