If I Had A Hammer (The Hammer Song)

Pete Seeger/Lee Hays 1949

Verse 1
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Verse 2
If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Verse 3
If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Verse 4
Well I got a hammer
And I got a bell
And I got a song to sing (Song to sing)
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Outro
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
All over this land
All over this land
