Intro
| A | A | G | D |
Chorus
Hammers and nails built the country, hammers and nails made it strong
Hammers and nails in my wagon,come on mule roll along
Verse 1, Johnny
The early settlers waited for the months to go by
Listening for the peddler and his things they might buy
Many of mother waited for the things he would bring
They would know he was coming, when they would hear him sing
Verse 2, Statlers
Blue ribbons for a little girls hair, threads and needles for the ladies fair
Get along mule move down that trail
I’ve got tonics here that will keep you strong, books to read when the days are long
A7 N.C. D
And for the men: it’s hammers and nails
Chorus
Hammers and nails built the country, hammers and nails made it strong
Hammers and nails in my wagon,come on mule roll along
Verse 3, Johnny
Yeah there was Crockett, Houston, Boone, Wild Bill
Stories of men with the great iron will
But somehow some of the books now fail to mention
The drummer who help to build this great nation.
Verse 4, Statlers
I got seeds to plant for the black land farm, guns and bullets when they must use harm
Get along mule no time to fail
Reverend Jones I know will need these bibles, He’s gonna hold a big revival
A7 N.C. D
When they built his church with hammers and nails
Chorus
Hammers and nails built the country, hammers and nails made it strong
A7 N.C. D
Hammers and nails in my wagon.., come on mule roll along
Outro
Roll along, roll along, roll along, roll along, roll along
