lyrics

Bloody towels on the basement floor,
Sheep ain’t screaming outside no more,
‘Cause mama done died in the basement,
Mama done died in the basement.
Daddy got a new wife,
Daddy got a new life,
Daddy got a….

Daddy got a hammer and a nail,
Daddy got a hammer and a nail,
Daddy got a hammer and a nail
Hammer and a nail
Hammer and a nail.

In a fit of blind rage he swung left and right,
Mama didn’t stand no chance.
He got out the nails from his tool box,
And one by one he lodged them in.

We tore up the linoleum,
We burned all her clothes,
We wiped up her blood with a pair of my cotton hose.
We poured the bleach to cover up the smell,
Of mama’s last words telling daddy to go to hell.


Daddy got a hammer and a nail,
Daddy got a hammer and a nail,
Daddy got a hammer and a nail
Hammer and a nail
Hammer and a nail.

He drug mama up the stairs,
Took her to the car,
Rolled her down to that muddy river,
Said you ain’t gonna see your mama no more.

Mama climbed out of the muddy river,
Blood streaming down her skin.
She grabbed daddy’s old revolver,
And pointed it at him.
She said, “You ain’t getting away so easy.
If I’m going down then you’re coming with me”.

Mama got a hammer and a nail,
Mama got a hammer and a nail,
Mama got a hammer and a nail,
Hammer and a nail,
Hammer and a nail.
