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
Tell him I`m gone
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`
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`
Tell him I was cryin`
They wanna feed me cornbread and molasses
They wanna feed me cornbread and molasses
They wanna feed me cornbread and molasses
But I got my pride
Well, I got my pride
