I was framin' houses in Houston one August afternoonWhen the foreman's wife pulled up in her Lincoln and she said I been looking for youThe old man went home early do you wanna take a ride to townI said I guess it couldn't do no harm and I threw my hammer downWe were shootin' straight tequila when the foreman came stormin' inHe said honey now didn't I warn you what I'd do if I caught you againShe pulled out her little pistol she fired and he hit the groundShe grabbed my arm we jumped into that Lincoln and I put that hammer downHammer down hammer down don't look back it's too late nowAin't nothin' you can do about it anyhowJust put that hammer put that hammer downWell I heard the sirens moanin' just east of New OrleansShe cried out to the trooper thank God you rescued meWhen they dragged me into the courtroom I knew where I was boundThat old judge threw the book at me then he threw his hammer downHammer down hammer down don't look back it's too late nowAin't nothin' you can do about it anyhowJust throw that hammer throw that hammer downOn a chain gang out of Houston one August afternoonI see that same old Lincoln and at the wheel there's a brand new foolThen the warden taps my shoulder says son quit your foolin' aroundIn ninety-nine years you can lay that hammer downOh hammer down hammer down don't look back it's too late nowAin't nothin' you can do about it anyhowThrow that hammer throw that hammer downJust swing that hammer swing that hammer down swing that hammer down From Letras Mania
