"Hammer Song" lyrics

"Hammer Song"
(originally by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band)

"Oh, please don't sell me out," said the man with the hammer
Hammering the anvil
I been walking on the road of rocks
And I'll keep on hammering, keep on hammering, keep on hammering
Hammering the anvil

"Don't let the sun go down," said the man with the fire
Firing the furnace
I been buried in the snow
And I'll keep on firing, keep on firing, keep on firing
Firing the furnace

"Don't talk to me," said the man with the chisel
Chiselling the surface
I been sleeping far too long
And I'll keep on chiselling, keep on chiselling, keep on chiselling
Chiselling the surface

"I don't know what you need," said the man with the shovel
Shovelling the ashes
I been digging in the frozen ground
And I'll keep on shovelling, keep on shovelling, keep on shovelling
Shovelling the ashes
Chiselling the surface
Firing the furnace
Hammering the anvil
Hammering the anvil

"Don't sell me out," said the man with the hammer
Hammering the anvil
I been walking on the road of rocks
And I'll keep on hammering, keep on hammering, keep on hammering
Hammering the anvil
Shovelling the ashes
Chiselling the surface
Firing the furnace
Hammering the anvil
Keeping on
Keeping on, keeping on, keeping on
Hammering the anvil

I'm gonna keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on hammering
I'm gonna keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on hammering
