Big Spike Hammer
Can't you hear the ripple of my big spike hammer
Lord, it's busting my side
I've done all I can do to keep that woman
Still, she's not satisfied
Chorus
Hey, hey, Della May
Why do you treat me this way
Hey, hey, Della May
I'll get even some day
I'm the biggest hammer swinger in this big section gang
Big Bill Johnson is my name
This spike hammer that I swing for a dollar and a half a day
It's all for my Della May
Chorus
Well, I've been lots of places, not much I ain't done
There's still a lot of things I'd like to see
But this hammer that I swing or the woman that I love
Yeah, one's gonna be the death of me
Chorus
Big spike hammer, big spike hammer
