The Hammer

Somewhere up in Laventille, many years ago
A man had a hammer, used to follow him to and fro
He used to use it to pound a pan or sometimes a stupid man
All in the Savannah, never miss Panorama

One day the old hammer just disappear, oh
Some say that it vanish into thin air

A where the man wit' the hammer gone?
Tell me, tell me where he gone
Anybody know where the hammer gone?
Tell me, tell me where he gone

Can you tell me what going on?
Tell me, tell me where he gone
I want to know where the hammer gone
Tell me, tell me where he gone

Why you up and leave? (Trail)
Why you make me grieve? (Trail)
Hammer, tell me flat (trail)
Why you do wi dat? (Trail) oh Lord

Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more
Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more

From April of '85, hammer went to sleep
After years of making noise, not even a peep
He used to move wit' the dragon man all through this soca land
Always on the scene, they used to control the Barber-Greene

Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more
Who holding the hammer? I want to know

A where the man wit the hammer gone?
Tell me, tell me where he gone
Thunderbolt Williams, what going on?
Tell me, tell me where he gone

This thing like a police boot on meh corn
Tell me, tell me where he gone
And now, I hear it by Y'De Lima on pawn
Tell me, tell me where he gone

Children, search under your bed (trail)
All above yuh head (trail)
Look behind the door (trail)
What you waiting for (trail), oh Lord

Well, the dragon doh walk the trail, no more, no more, no more
Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more

On a silver chariot, riding to the sun
Leaving fire in its wake, spirits on the run
As we gather 'round that day, I hear sister Sheila say
How last night she see a sign, she see the hammer and it doing fine

Same time thunder roll, she bawl out, "you see!"
He done start to tune a pan already

A where the man wit' the hammer gone?
Tell me, tell me where he gone
Sister Sheila, what going on?
Tell me, tell me where he gone

This hammer givin' we a heavy horn
Tell me, tell me where he gone
This thing like a police boot on meh corn
Tell me, tell me where he gone

Search all through the town (trail)
Turn it upside down (trail)
Check on top the hill (trail)
On dat window sill (trail), oh Lord

Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more, tell them, tell them
Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more, tell them again
Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more
Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more
I say he doh walk the trail
I say he doh walk the trail
He doh walk the trail
Doh walk the trail, no, no

Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more
Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more
He doh walk the trail
He doh walk the trail
He doh walk the trail no more
No more, no more, no more, no more

Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more, challe
Well, the dragon doh walk the trail no more
He doh walk the trail no more
He doh walk the trail no more
He doh walk the-
