Born with a jackhammer in his hand.

Built every port from alasky down;

A-tryin' to bring the people some electric light,

Always broke when my job was through,

Fifteen million salmon run;

I hammered in the best and i hammered in the worst;
Lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.

And i'm a-gonna hammer till the day i die,
Lord, lord, well i got them jackhammer blues.
