David Rudder - The Hammer (lyrics)

Somewhere up in Lavantille, 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
Some say that it vanished into thin air
Where the man with the hammer gone
(Tell me, tell me where he gone)
Anybody know where the hammer gone
(Tell me, tell where he gone)
Can you tell we what going on
(Tell me, tell where he gone)
I want to know where the hammer gone
(Tell me, tell where he gone)
Why you up and leave (trail)
Why you make me grieve (trail)
Hammer, tell me flat (trail)
Why you do me that (trail)
Oh Lord, well, the dragon don’t walk the trail no more
Well, the dragon don’t 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 with the dragon man
All through this Soca land, always on the scene
They used to control the barber-greene
Well, the dragon don’t walk the trail no more
Who holding the hammer I want to know
Where de man with the hammer gone
(Tell me, tell where he gone)
Thunderbolt Williams, what going on
(Tell me, tell where he gone)
This thing like a police boot on my corn
(Tell me, tell where he gone)
And now I hear it by Y'De Lima on pawn
(Tell me, tell where he gone)
Children, search under your bed (trail)
All above your head (trail)
Look behind the door (trail)
What you waiting for (trail)
Oh Lord, well, the dragon don’t walk the trail no more
Well, the dragon don’t 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
Where the man with the hammer gone
(Tell me, tell where he gone)
Sister Sheila, darling, what going on
(Tell me, tell where he gone)
This hammer giving me a heavy horn
(Tell me, tell where he gone)
This thing like a police boot on my corn
(Tell me, tell where he gone)
Search all through the town (trail)
Turn it upside down (trail)
Check on top the hill (trail)
On the window sill (trail)
Oh Lord, well, the dragon don’t walk the trail no more
Tell them, tell them
Well, the dragon don’t walk the trail no more
Tell them again
Well, the dragon don’t walk the trail no more
