The Swimming Pool Q's - 1943 A. D. lyrics

When the levee breaks And the waters roll back There's a faraway whistling Like a maniac 1943 Easter Day The Rising Sun Took my boy away I still remember His blonde hair tossed The President's letter God Embossed Hand me a hammer Hand me a nail I might stammer I won't fail To build me a tower I can climb upon Build me a tower Like back in Babylon Build me a tower And name it after him Build me a tower And sing a battle hymn Hand me a hammer Hand me a nail I might stammer I won't fail When the levee breaks And the waters Roll Back There's a faraway Whistling Like a maniac Light my lantern Climb the stairs Wave my hammer Taunt the stars That took my boy away That I can climb upon Like in Babylon
