Lyrics:
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between all my brothers
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 a warning
I'd ring out love between all my brothers
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 out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between all my brothers
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 all my brothers
All over this land

Lauren, you must have posted this shortly after that vile, disgusting, far right loon Donald Trump had been inexplicably voted into office - and I concur with your disdain.

@egreenbery 2 года назад

I think both the conservatives and the screwball leftist "progressive" democrats would hate that.

@andyhiggs6932 2 года назад

@@NeverKnowinglyUndersouled Your attitude is the antithisis of the 'love between my brothers and sisters' mentioned in this song. It doesn't start with Trump, it starts with you.

@winggoddess Lee Hays and Pete Seeger, both of the Weavers, wrote this song in 1949. No version of it existed before then. Lee wrote it with the words "all of my brothers". Libby Frank convinced him, in 1952, to begin singing "my brothers and my sisters". Trust me on this, I'm a big Weavers fan, and they definitely were the first to do the song! This rendition is from their 1963 reunion concert, but they cut two versions in 1949. I have both of them. All the other versions are covers.

What's the vote, Carlo? Most influential group, or best group, or most honest group? Pete Seeger has been my hero my entire life. Stand up for yourself and believe in what you stand up for. The Weavers just proved it.

@BrockenSpecter 13 лет назад

@winggoddess : When Lee Hays of the Weavers wrote this song, back in 1949, he used the term "brothers" to mean "brethren" or "brotherhood of man." It was not intended to omit females! I rather like the sound of "all of my brothers," as it flows off the tongue better than "my brothers and my sisters" -- that's the way Lee felt as well. Incidentally, I was recently in the town Lee last lived in (from 1967-1981): Croton-on-Hudson. It's a lovely little village right by the water.

This is the song we always listened to at Salkehatchie. It fit the job description perfectly. :) It got us ready to work every morning. It is surprising what a group of highschool kids could do in one week that a construction worker couldn't do in one month. The construction worker changes the building, Salkehatchie does the same, but we change the life of the person living in the building. :) Praise the lord.

I try to include the lyrics in each song I post but it's not always so easy as I'm Italian, so if I don't find 'em on the net, catching the words is not very simple.

Merci pour la version originale qui a été massacré en France par Claude François avec des paroles insipides qui sont loin de la colère des textes antiracistes des auteurs.
