Jack-Hammer Blues

I’ve got those jackhammer blues, I’ve been trippin' on a hard rock pile
I’ve got the jackhammer blues, I’ve been trippin' on a block o’slag
I can hear my hammer trippin' while I’m tryin' to get some sleep at night
Jackhammer, jackhammer eatin' that rock away
Look at my jackhammer chompin' that rock away
Takes fourteen cranes and dumptrucks just to follow me around a day
I’m a jackhammer man, I love to hear that hard bit ring
Brrroom, brrroom, brrroom, brrroom, I love to hear that hard bingobling
I’ve been down this old road and I’ll build it back new again
Jackhammer jars my shoulders, jackhammer jars my head
Jackhammer jars my shoulders, jackhammer shivers my head
I shake and shimmy all night long when I put my little self to bed
My jackhammer clatters, it bucks, it jumps, it jars
My jackhammer clatters, it bucks, it jumps, it jars
My wife kicked me out o’bed, I got to sleep out here under the stars
I kept on drilling my bit, folks, kept a-hammering right on down your street
I kept on drilling my bit, folks, kept a-hammering right on down your street
Found a hard steel woman whose shakin' just can’t be beat
I’ve got a bit of money saved up workin' on a jackhammer line
I’ve got a bit of money saved up workin' on a jackhammer line
I slide all my money down to the mailbox, shoot it to that women o' mine
