If I Had A Hammer

Sam Cooke · Sam Cooke At The Copa [1964]

If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the morning

Hammer in the evening all over this land



I'd hammer out danger

Hammer out a warning

I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land



If I had a bell I'd tinkle in the morning

Tinkle in the evening time all over this land



I'd tinkle out that danger

I'd tinkle out a warning

Tinkle out love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land



If I had a song

Sing it in the evening all over this land



And I'd sing out danger

Sing out a warning

I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land



Yeah

Oh

Yeah

Yeah

Oh

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah



If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the morning

A hammer in the evening time all over this land



I hammer out danger

Hammer out a warning

I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land



Look

I got a hammer

And I got a bell

And I got a song to sing all over this land

It's the hammer of justice

A bell of freedom

Yeah

It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land



Yeah

Lord have mercy

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah
