(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...
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...
