Cold Black Hammer
Joe Ely
Pulls black blood from the ground
She swings a cold black hammer
She wears solid gold in her crownNight after night she's relentless
She is a slave-driving queen
She swings a cold black hammer
And lines their pockets with greenShe swings a cold black hammer
Her breasts are covered in sweat
She swings a cold black hammer
In a place you'll never forget
She swings a cold black hammer
At night beneath the moon and the stars
She swings a cold black hammer
And lights the rich man's cigarsMen come to her armed and ready
Bankers in suspenders and white shirts
She swings a cold black hammer
And rolls their bones in the dirt
She swings a cold black hammer
Her breasts are covered in sweat
She swings a cold black hammer
In a place you'll never forget
