LOVE & PEACE all over this land

Well again it's been too long for posting to my ol' blog, too busy for my own dang good I guess! Today I was listening to a public radio station program about the "love and peace" days of the 1960's - anybody out there come of age during the 1960s or 1970s? If so, chances are you'll remember the tune "If I had a Hammer" by the group Peter, Paul & Mary. If not, I've included a video at the bottom of the lyrics here. Enjoy.

If I Had A Hammer  (Pete Seeger / Lee Hays)

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 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 our danger, I'd ring out warning

I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land


If I had a song I'd sing it in the morning

I'd sing it in the evening all over this land

I'd sing out danger, I'd sing out warning

I'd sing out love between my sisters and my brothers

All over this land


When 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 a hammer of justice, it's a bell of freedom

It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land

(as sung by Peter Paul & Mary)
