1, 2, 1, 2, 3...

I went on down, down to the river
Went on down to see what I could find
DidnÂ’t see much, whole lotta nothinÂ’
Except for a school that be takinÂ’ on a ride

Oh Lord! Oh, I shouldÂ’ve known, babe
Oh Lord! OOOOh! Now I shoulda known, shoulda known, Mama, now I shoulda known
ThinkinÂ’ that youÂ’re hard as nails, hopinÂ’ that that hammer donÂ’t fall
YouÂ’re thinkinÂ’ that youÂ’re hard as nails, hopinÂ’ that that hammer donÂ’t fall, baby
TalkinÂ’ bout the hammer, Whoo! the hammer and the nail

(ThatÂ’s right, Oh yeah, Tell ya a story)

I went on back, back to the river
I went on back, think it wasnÂ’t long.
And as I stood, and stared into the water
I just realized that I bought a dancinÂ’ song

Oh Lord! Oh, I shouldÂ’ve known, babe
Oh Lord! OOOOh! Now I shoulda known, shoulda known, Mama, now I shoulda known
ThinkinÂ’ that youÂ’re hard as nails, hopinÂ’ that that hammer donÂ’t fall
YouÂ’re thinkinÂ’ that youÂ’re hard as nails, hopinÂ’ that that hammer donÂ’t fall, baby
TalkinÂ’ bout the hammer, Whoo! the hammer and the nail

(Man)

YouÂ’re thinkinÂ’ that youÂ’re hard as nails, hopinÂ’ that that hammer donÂ’t fall, baby
YouÂ’re thinkinÂ’ that youÂ’re hard as nails, hopinÂ’ that that hammer donÂ’t fall
TalkinÂ’ bout the hammer, Whoo! the hammer and the nail
