Take This Hammer by Jimmie Strothers

Take This Hammer - Jimmie Strothers; Banjo in G position.

'Tain't no hammer, in this mountain
Ain't no hammer, in this mountain
Ain't no hammer, in this mountain
Ring like mine, ring like mine

Take this hammer, carry it to the walker
Tell 'im I'm gone, tell 'im I'm gone

This old hammer, git too heavy
This old hammer, git too heavy
This old hammer, git too heavy
Gonna lie down, gonna lie down

This old hammer, gettin' too heavy
Gonna lie down, gonna lie down

Rocks in the mountain, shine like diamonds
Rocks in the mountain, shine like diamonds
Rocks in the mountain, shine like diamonds
I'm going home, say, I'm going home

Everything that you see shinin'
Ain't no gold, baby, ain't no gold

Everything that you see shinin'
Everything that you see shinin'
Everything that you see shinin'
Ain't no gold, baby, ain't no gold

Tell little Hattie, she better be quiltin'
Gonna be cold, gonna be cold

Tell little Hattie, she better be quiltin'
Gonna be cold, lovin' babe, gonna be cold

Poor little Hattie keeps on writin'
Poor little Hattie keeps on writin'
Poor little Hattie, she keeps on writin'
I'm going home, baby, I'm going home

If I live to see December
I'm going home, I'm going home

If I live to see December
I'm going home, I'm going home
