Take This Hammer - Leadbelly

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
