Album Cover If I Had a Hammer

If I Had a Hammer

Sam Cooke

6

If I had a hammer

I'd hammer in the morning

Hammer in the evening

All over this land

I'd hammer out danger

Hammer out a warning

I'd hammer out love between

My brothers and my sisters

All over this land

If I had a bell

I'd tinkle in the morning

Tinkle in the evening time

All over this land

I'd tinkle out that danger

I'd tinkle out a warning

Tinkle out love between

My brothers and my sisters

All over this land

If I had a song

Sing it in the evening

All over this land

And i'd sing out danger

Sing out a warning

I'd sing out love between

My brothers and my sisters

All over this land

Yeah, oh yeah

Yeah, oh yeah

Yeah, yeah

If i had a hammer

I'd hammer in the morning

A hammer in the evening time

All over this land

I hammer out danger

Hammer out a warning

I'd hammer out love between

My brothers and my sisters

All over this land

Look, I got a hammer

And I got a bell

And I got a song to sing

All over this land

It's the hammer of justice

A bell of freedom yeah

It's a song about love

Between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land

Yeah, lord have mercy

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
