Take This Hammer

[Verse 1]
Now, take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone

[Verse 2]
Now, if he asks you was I runnin'
If he asks you was I runnin'
If he asks you was I runnin'
Tell him I was flyin', tell him I was flyin'

[Verse 3]
Now, if he asks you was I laughin'
If he asks you was I laughin'
If he asks you was I laughin'
Tell him I was cryin', tell him I was cryin'

[Verse 4]
Now, I don't want no cast iron shackles
I don't want no cast iron shackles
I don't want no cast iron shackles
It hurts my pride, it hurts my pride

[Verse 1]
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone

[Refrain]
Tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
