Take This Hammer

TAKE THIS HAMMER The Notting Hillibilies 1990 Take this hammer, carry it to the captain, (3x) Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone. If he ask you was I runnin' (3x) Tell him I'm flyin'. If he ask you was I laughin', Tell him I was cryin'. I don't want no cold iron shackles, Around my leg. I don't want no cornbread and mola*ses, They hurt my pride. I'm go'n' make these few days I started, Then I'm goin' home. Traditional, USA
