A Hatchet, A Hammer, A Bucket Of Nails Lyrics - Singles - Perry Como

A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails 

an' all the wood I can find 

I'll build me a cabin on top of the hill 

got all the plans in my mind . . . 

Where the tree tops talk to the wind 

where the eagle flies 

I'll bring her to see it the minute I'm through 

won't she light up with surprise! 

A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails 

an' just my two hands, but with some help from above 

The walls will start risin', the roof will go on 

the final touch will be love . . . 

Where the tree tops talk to the wind 

where the eagle flies 

The preacher will bless us as we hurry to 

our happy home in the skies . . . 

As soon as we're married, 

we're movin' in to 

our happy home in the skies . . . 

( A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails . . . ) 

Our happy home in the skies . . .
