Heard this song on a friend's tape years ago, and it's been in my head lately. Don't know the name, but it's gotta be from around 1973-1975. Here are the lyrics I can remember:
Hear that sound
The hammer (or handle?) ....?????
From sun up to sun down
Men from all walks of life...(more lyrics I can't remember)
(and the chorus is...)
Breaking Rocks, serving my time
So I can go up to find peace of mind
???bring me water...(more lyrics I can't remember)
(Back up singers are doing little grunts like "uhh, ahh ahh", as if they were doing hard labor)
Sorry for the vagueness. Hope someone knows.
