Peter, Paul and Mary (#10
in 1962),
Trini Lopez (#3 in 1963)
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, My brothers and my sisters,
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,
My brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
If I had a song...
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 danger
It's the bell of warning
It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters
all over this land
