[Verse 1]
Boots in the gravel
Beards full of stone dust
We march in a circle
Like trouble in trust
Helmets all crooked
Laughing in time
Steel on the bedrock
Ringing in rhyme
[Chorus]
Swing that hammer
One-two-three (hey!)
Let the mountains dance with me
Hear that crack
That clink
That fall
Macho hearts in a narrow hall
Step
Stomp
Shoulder to the wall
Raise your mug and heed the call
Swing that hammer
One-two-three
Rock and rum and revelry
[Verse 2]
Shirts ripped open
Scars down our chests
We boast about boulders
We’ve broken to dust
Gold in our pockets
Gravel in our teeth
We spin with the lanterns
Throwing wild heat
[Chorus]
Swing that hammer
One-two-three (ho!)
Let the mountains dance with me
Hear that crack
That clink
That fall
Macho hearts in a narrow hall
Step
Stomp
Shoulder to the wall
Roar so loud the caves enthrall
Swing that hammer
One-two-three
Rock and rum and revelry
[Bridge]
[All stomp in a slow circle
Only metal clanks and pick strikes]
Clank… clank… clank…
Deep in the dark where the echoes drink
Clank… clank… clank…
We toast to the tap of the iron and ink (hey!)
[Chorus]
Swing that hammer
One-two-three
Let the mountains dance with me
Hear that crack
That clink
That fall
Macho hearts in a narrow hall
Step
Stomp
Shoulder to the wall
Shake the stone from floor to vault
Swing that hammer
One-two-three (one-two-three)
Rock and rum and revelry
