If I had a bell, 
I'd ring it in the morning, 
I'd ring it in the evening, 
all over this land. 
I'd ring out danger, 
I'd ring out a warning, 
I'd ring out love between 
my brothers and my sisters 
all over this land. 

If I had a song, 
I'd sing it in the morning, 
I'd sing it in the evening, 
all over this land. 
I'd sing out danger, 
I'd sing out a warning,  
I'd sing out love between  
my brothers and my sisters 
all over this land. 

Well I got a hammer, and I got a bell, 
and I got a song to sing, 
all over this land. 
It's the hammer of justice, 
it's the bell of freedom, 
it's the song about love between  
my brothers and my sisters. 
All over this land. 


Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
