Take This Hammer Lyrics

edit | print 
Take this hammer - hah - and carry it to the captain - hah, X3
Tell him I'm gon'- hah - tell him I'm gon'.

If he asks you - hah - was I runnin' - hah? X3
Tell him I'm blin' - hah - tell him I'm blin' -hah.

If he asks you - hah - was I laughin' - hah? X 3
Tell him I's cryin' - hah - tell him I's cryin' - hah.
(Sic)
I don't want no, corn and mollasses,
It hurts my pride, it hurts my pride.
Rpt first verse.
