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 ask you was I laughin'
If he ask you was I laughin'
If he ask you was I laughin'
Tell him I was cryin'
Tell him I was cryin'
If he ask you was I runnin'
If he ask you was I runnin'
If he ask you was I runnin'
Tell him I was flyin'
Tell him I was flyin'
That old captain was a mean old captain
That old captain was a mean old captain
That old captain was a mean old captain
Tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
I don't want no cornbread an' molasses
I don't want no cornbread an' molasses
I don't want no cornbread an' molasses
It hurts my proud
It hurts my proud
I don't want no cold iron shackles
I don't want no cold iron shackles
I don't want no cold iron shackles
Around my leg
Around my leg
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
