Swing That Hammer
Lonesome River Band


		C
	Swing that hammer, break that rock, Lord, that ol' sun is hot
		  F		 G	      C
	And the shackles that I wear fit too tight
	C
	I ain't see nobody smile out on this ol' rock pile
		     F			   G           C
	And they'll knock you down if you don't do it right

C
Now hard times go so slow, and I've got ten to go
	F         G		  C
I'm a number now, I don't have a name
C
But there ain't no need to whine, This ball and chain is mine
	  F	       G		 C
There ain't no way to stop this burnin' pain


C
At night old memories show, Cold steel is so cold
	F	         G	            C
It's lonesome time when they turn out the light
C
These walls are grim and gray, Tomorrow's another day
    F		    G	             C
To swing my hammer down with all my might
