Brothers Osborne Lyrics
"Big Spike Hammer"

(Bobby Osborne - Pete Goble)

Can't you hear the ripple on my big spike hammer
Lord, it's bustin' my side
I've done all I can do to keep that woman
Still she's not satisfied.

Hey, hey, Delta May
Why do you treat me this-a-way
Hey, hey, Delta May
I'll get even some day.

I'm the best hammer swinger
In this big section game
Big Bill Johnson is my name
Lord the hammer that I swing
For a dollar and a half a day
It's all for my Delta May.

Hey, hey, Delta May
Why do you treat me this-a-way
Hey, hey, Delta May
I'll get even some day.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I've been lots of places, not much I ain't done
There's still lotta things I'd like to see
Beats that hammer that I swing or the woman I love
One's gonna be the death of me.

Hey, hey, Delta May
Why do you treat me this-a-way
Hey, hey, Delta May
I'll get even some day.

Big spike hammer, big spike hammer...
