The song is about a man on one of the old-time chain gangs. He uses the hammer to break his chains and make his escape, telling one of the other inmates to take the hammer and carry it to the chain gange captain and show him that he's lost a prisoner. It's basically "Cool Hand Luke" set to music.
My Dad had this song on 8 track tape and played it all the way from Ohio to Coeburn,Viriginia to visit family for 2 weeks every year the first 2 weeks of July . Brings back fond memoires back when life was carefree.

@Duceman2006 Agreed. Earl Scruggs, Don Reno, and Sonny Osborne. There'll be no one like 'em.
