[Verse 1]
Take this hammer (Wah!)
And carry it to the captain (Wah!)

And carry it to the captain (Wah!)
Take this hammer (Wah!)
And carry it to the captain (Wah!)
Tell him I'm gone (Wah!)
You tell him I'm gone (Wah!)
[Verse 2]
If he ask you (Wah!)
Was I runnin' (Wow!)
If he ask you (Wah!)
Was I runnin' (Wah!)
If he ask you (Wah!)
Was I runnin' (Wah!)
Tell him I was flyin' (Wah!)
You tell him I was flyin' (Wah!)
[Verse 3]
If he ask you (Wah!)
Was I laughin' (Wah!)
If he ask you (Wah!)
Was I laughin' (Wah!)
If he ask you (Wah!)
Was I laughin' (Wah!)
Tell him I was cryin' (Wah!)
You tell him I was cryin' (Wah!)

I don't want no (Wah!)
Cornbread and molasses
I don't want no (Wah!)
Cornbread and molasses (Wah!)
I don't want no (Wah!)
Cornbread and molasses (Wah!)
It hurts my pride (Wah!)
It hurts my pride (Wah!)

And carry it to the captain (Wah!)
Take this hammer (Wah!)
