If I Had a Hammer

(By Pete Seeger and Lee Hays)

If I had a hammer,

I’d hammer in the morning.

I’d hammer in the evening,

All over this land.

I’d ring out danger,

I’d ring out warning,

I’d ring out love between the

Brothers and the sisters,

All over this land.

 

If I had a bell,

I’d ring it in the morning,

I’d ring it in the evening,

All over this land.

I’d ring out danger,

I’d ring out warning,

I’d ring out love between the

Brothers and the sisters,

All over this land.

 

If I had a song,

I’d sing it in the morning,

I’d sing it in the evening,

All over this land.

I’d sing about danger,

I’d sing out a warning,

I’d sing about love between the

Brothers and the sisters,

All over this land.

 

Well, I’ve got a hammer,

And I’ve got a bell,

And I’ve got a song to sing

All over this land.

It’s the hammer of justice,

It’s the bell of freedom,

It’s the song about love between the

Brothers and the sisters,

All over this land.
