I Set Out On Monday
The Night Was Cold And Vast
And My Brother Slept

And Though I Left Quite Quietly
My Father Raged And Raged
And My Mother Wept

Now, My Life Was Like A River
All Sucked Into The Ground
And Then The Hammer Came Down
Lord, The Hammer Came Down

Many Miles Did I Roam
Through The Ice And Through The Snow
My Horse Died On The Seventh Day

I Stumbled Into A City
Where The People Tried To Kill Me
And I Ran In Shame

Then I Came Upon A River
And I Laid My Saddle Down
And Then The Hammer Came Down
Lord, The Hammer Came Down
It Knocked Me To The Ground
And I Said, "Please, Please
Take Me Back To My Home Town"
Lord, The Hammer Came Down

Now I've Been Made Weak By Visions
Many Visions Did I See
All Through The Night

On The Seventh Hour An Angel Came
With Many Snakes In All His Hands
And I Fled In Fright

I Pushed Off Into The River
And The Water Came Around
And Then The Hammer Came Down
Lord, The Hammer Came Down
And It Did Not Make A Sound
And I Said, "Please, Please
Take Me Back To My Home Ground"
Lord, The Hammer Came Down
