My man came home with his shirt all black
Three-pound hammer in a two-pound sack.
He brought me some coal and I said “Take it back”
Three-pound hammer in a two-pound sack.
I don’t know how he can carry that bag
Three-pound hammer in a two-pound sack.
His legs get tired and his shoulders sag
Three-pound hammer in a two-pound sack.
He went to bad early and he got up late
Three-pound hammer in a two-pound sack.
Everyone said it’s because of the weight
Three-pound hammer in a two-pound sack.
You want some tools and you know he’s got ‘em
Three-pound hammer in a two-pound sack.
Whenever he drives, well the car hits bottom
Three-pound hammer in a two-pound sack.
Yesterday he went and got a bigger kit
Three-pound hammer in a two-pound sack.
Today I come down and there he sits
Four-pound hammer in a three-pound sack.
