Lyrics
[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
[Verse 2]
If he asks you, was I running (Yeah)
If he asks you, was I running
If he asks you, was I running
Tell him I's flying
Tell him I's flying
[Verse 3]
So I don't wan' know
Cornbread and molasses (Oh, no)
I don't wan' know
Cornbread and molasses
I don't wan' know
Cornbread and molasses
It hurts my pride
It hurts my pride
[Verse 4]
So 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
Oh, tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
