[misspellings from album]
You you ya-you
You're a Yellow Hammer
from North Dakota
Down to Alabama
the tip of Texas
to the top of Montana
you you ya-you
you're a yellow hammer
like me
You're my brother
You're my uncle
You're my nephew
You're my daddy too
You're my grandad
You're my grandad's pappy's
brother's uncle Lou

You're my sister
You're my neice
My mama
Kissing cousin Sue
You're my grandma
You're my grandma's
Grandma's grandma too
You you ya-you
You're a Yellow Hammer
from Minnesota to Louisianna
Iowa across to Indiana
You you ya-you
You're a Yellow Hammer
Like me.
