Lyrics
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
You tell 'em I'm gone
You tell 'em I'm gone
If he asks you was I runnin'
If he asks you was I runnin'
If he asks you was I runnin'
You tell 'em I was flyin'
You tell 'em I was flyin'?
If he asks you was I laughin'
If he asks you was I laughin'
If he asks you was I laughin'
You tell 'em I was cryin'
You tell 'em I was cryin'
I don't want no cornbread and molasses
I don't want no cornbread and molasses
I don't want no cornbread and molasses
It hurts my pride
Hurts my pride
Take this hammer, and carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, and carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, and carry it to the captain
And tell 'em I'm gone
You tell 'em I'm gone
Writer(s): Yusuf Islam
