Intro: Verse I dug my share of treasure Dug so deep they called it a crime There might be pleasures I’ve never tasted But I ain’t wasting no more time Cause the furnace is burnin’ white-hot And the hammer is swingin’ with the weight of the world Now’s the time, like it or not Stand and deliver, stand and deliver Bridge Verse That old pig’s so proud lyin’ in the mud And Miss Chicken’s just happy, she ain’t been fried The buzzards ain’t worried about no flood But I’m not ready to be satisfied Cause the furnace is burnin’ white-hot And the hammer is swingin’ with the weight of the world Now’s the time, like it or not Stand and deliver, stand and deliver Verse I got a picture of Teddy Roosevelt Hangin’ on the wall in my home on the range But I felt a strange wind blowin’ Tellin’ me something is about to change Cause the furnace is burnin’ white-hot And the hammer is swingin’ with the weight of the world Now’s the time, like it or not Stand and deliver, stand and deliver
