On That Note: Hammer Time

[RoseClone]

Grandpa Was A Carpenter - John Prine.

This version with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas is the best.



"Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses, stores and banks
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes
And hammered nails in planks
He was level on the level
And shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war"

Lyrics from Mack the Knife:

Was a ***** to break ground but the wine kept us goin'
Moonshine was flowin' and keepin' us warm
'Cause you can't hold a girl with a fistful of shovel
Got to find your fire in the company of corn

[bawbie]

Now I ain't the sharpest chisel
That your hands have ever held

Now, I ain't the toughest hickory
That your ax has ever felt
But I'm a hickory just as well
I'm a hickory all the same

And the judge's gavel fell (a gavel is considered a small hammer)

Feel it when I turn the screw

The Beatles, Maxwell's Siver Hammer

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

Gear Jammer lyrics:

Running my rig around 95
Rockin' and a-rollin' in a-overdrive
Yeah, my heart is beatin' like a jackhammer
It's the midnight ride of a gear jammer
