Nail Song

I grabbed me a nail and I set it on the wood
and the nail said "Lord, this had better be good
Lord, this had better be good."

I picked up the hammer and I went to hit the nail
and the nail said "Lord, I would rather be in jail
Lord, I would rather be in jail."

I swung the hammer down and I hit it on the head
and the nail cried "Lord, I would rather I was dead
Lord, I would rather I was dead!"

I pounded that nail and I hammered it deep
and the nail said "Lord, I wish you would let me sleep
Lord, I think I'm going to sleep."

The storm rolled in and it blew all night
and the nails said "Lord, but we're holding on tight
Lord, but we're holding on tight!"

The sun came out, it was hot all day
and the nails said "Lord, for a little bit of shade
Lord, for a little bit of shade."

Yes, the man with the hammer thinks he's the boss
but it's nails that held the thief on the cross,
it's nails that held the thief on the cross.
