You take this hammer take it to the capt
Hey take this hammer take it to the capt
Take this hammer take it to the capt
You can tell him I'm gone

Cause I ain't gonna take no more kicks and whippings
No I ain't gonna take no kicks and whipping
I ain't gonna take no more no more this kicks and whippings
You can tell him I'm gone, gone, gone
You can tell him I'm gone
Captain call me a hard headed devil
Well the captain call me a hard headed devil
Well the captain call me you hard headed devil
And that ain't my name
That ain't my name
Well the captain got a big gun about a 99 calibre
Uuh captain got a big gun about a 99 calibre
Well the captain got a big gun bout a 99 calibre
He gonna shoot me down if he ever catches me
Gonna shoot me down
But you tell him that I went where the great goose goes
Tell him that I'm gone where the great goose goes
Tell him that I'm gone where the great goose goes
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone, just tell him I'm gone
Take this hammer take it to the capt
Hey take this hammer take it to the capt
