Take This Hammer

Take dis hammer, carry it to the captain. (3x)
Tell him I'm gone,
Tell him I'm gone,

If he asks you was I runnin', (3x)
Tell him I was flyin',
Tell him I was flyin',

If he asks you was I laughin', (3x)
Tell him I was cryin'
Tell him I was cryin',

They wanna feed me cornbread and molasses, (3x)
But I got my pride,
Well, I got my pride.
