Lyrics

[Chorus]

Steel driving man, don't you see, Lordy? Steel driving man, don't you see?

Died with a hammer in his hand, Lordy, died with a hammer in his hand

[Instrumental]

Steel driving man, don't you see, Lordy? Steel driving man, don't you see?

Died with a hammer in his hand, Lordy, died with a hammer in his hand
