The Hammer Song

These are completely the wrong lyrics, this is the song of the same name by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Correct lyrics: I set out on monday The night was cold and vast And my brother slept

And though I left quite quietly My father raged and raged And my mother wept

Now, my life was like a river All sucked into the ground And then the hammer came down Lord, the hammer came down

Many miles did I roam Through the ice and through the snow My horse died on the seventh day

I stumbled into a city Where the people tried to kill me And I ran in shame

Then I came upon a river And I laid my saddle down And then the hammer came down Lord, the hammer came down It knocked me to the ground And I said, "Please, please Take me back to my home town" Lord, the hammer came down

Now I've been made weak by visions Many visions did I see All through the night

On the seventh hour an angel came With many snakes in all his hands And I fled in fright

I pushed off into the river And the water came around And then the hammer came down Lord, the hammer came down And it did not make a sound And I said, "Please, please Take me back to my home ground" Lord, the hammer came down
