Down By the Riverside

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, you can tell him I'm gone

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', you can tell him I was flyin'

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', you can tell him I was cryin'

I don't want no cornbread and 'lasses

I don't want no cornbread and 'lasses

I don't want no cornbread and 'lasses

It hurts my pride, it hurts my pride

Well this hammer looks like silver

Well this hammer looks like silver

Well this hammer looks like silver

It feels like gold, it feels like gold

Take this hammer and 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, you can tell him I'm gone
