Hammers and Nails (with Johnny Cash)

Hammers and nails built the country
 Hammers and nails made it strong
 Hammers and nails in my wagon
 Come on mule roll along
 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'd know he was coming
 When they would hear him sing
 Blue ribbons for a little girl's hair
 Threads and needles for the ladie's 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
 And for the men
 It's hammers and nails
 Hammers and nails built the country
 Hammers and nails made it strong
 Hammers and nails in my wagon
 Come on mule roll along
 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
 I got seeds to plant for the black land farm
 Guns and bullets when they must use arms
 Get along mule no time to fail
 Reverend Jones I know will need these bibles
 He's gonna hold a big revival
 When they built his church with hammers and nails
 Hammers and nails built the country
 Hammers and nails made it strong
 Hammers and nails in my wagon
 Come on mule roll along
 Roll along, roll along, roll along, roll alvong, roll along, roll along
