I was a young man,
When the hammer came down,
Thought I could handle it,
Wouldn't do me no harm

She was a young girl,
Stars in her hair,
Rings on her finger tips,
A diamond so rare

Hammer came down from above,
Hammer, Hammer of love
Oho, won't you save me

She was a young girl,
With dangerous ways,
The tears of a demon,
Kissed by a saint

Hammer came down from above,
Oh, Hammer, Hammer of love

Oho, yeah

Though you pound this bitter heart,
Down to a molten steel,
Cast it in the furnace,
Of your burning spinning wheel,
I will rise up through the flames,
To wrap you in my arms,
Brand you with my loving seal
And steal your tender charms

Oh, yeah

The scent of our loving,
Woke my desire,
She stirred my smouldering heart,
Left me on fire

Oh, Hammer down from above,
Oh, Hammer, Hammer of love

Hammer, how you saved me
Hammer, how you saved me
Saved my soul

Hear me calling you,
Through the misty morning,
Mountain and Valley,
Ocean and Sea
