[Verse]
G Em
Can't you hear the ripple of my big spike hammer
C Em
Lord it's busting my side
G Em
I've done all I can do to keep that woman
C Em D7
Still she's never satisfied

G Em G
Hey hey Della Mae
D G
Why do you treat me this way
Em G
Hey hey Della Mae
D G
I'll get even some day

G Em
I'm the best hammer swinger in this big section gang
C Em
Big Bill Johnson is my name
G Em
I swing this old hammer for a dollar and a half a day
C Em D7
And it's all for my Della Mae

G Em G
Hey hey Della Mae
D G
Why do you treat me this way
Em G
Hey hey Della Mae
D G
I'll get even some day

G Em
Well I've been lots of places and there's lots of things i've done
C Em
And still some things I wanna see
G Em
This hammer that I swing or the woman that I love
C Em D7
one of them's gonna be the death of me

G Em G
Hey hey Della Mae
D G
Why do you treat me this way
Em G
Hey hey Della Mae
D G
I'll get even some day
