“If I Had a Hammer” (also known as The Hammer Song) is a 1949 American folk protest song written by Pete Seeger (music) and Lee Hays (lyrics), first recorded by The Weavers and later popularized by Peter, Paul and Mary and Trini Lopez
The song was composed in 1949 in support of the Progressive movement and the defense of Communist Party leaders charged under the Smith Act for advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government
Seeger and Hays first performed it on June 3, 1949 at St. Nicholas Arena in New York City, and later Seeger played it as a warm-up for Paul Robeson’s September 1949 Peekskill concert, which sparked the anti‑Communist Peekskill Riot

Tempos are different, I will have to run through my DAW!!!
And a mix was saved
Hi Arejay...left you a guitar. That backing track had issues, was just a blob of static, so I just muted it and recorded to your vocals and did my best to keep the tempo on beat. Love the Peter Paul and Mary version so kinda used there strums considering the BT was kinda messed up. Hope it works, Rick
