Take this hammer (Whoa)
And carry it to the captain (Whoa)
Take this hammer (Whoa)
And carry it to the captain (Whoa)
Take this hammer (Whoa)
And carry it to the captain (Whoa)
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone
I don't want no, corn bread and molasses
I don't want no goddamn corn bread and molasses
I don't want no corn bread and molasses
It hurts my pride, it hurts my pride
I don't want no congratulations
I don't want no congratulations
I don't want no congratulations
It hurts my pride, it hurts my pride
Take it Jimmy!
Take this hammer (Whoa)
And carry it to the captain (Whoa)
Take my goddamn hammer (Whoa)
And carry it to the captain (Whoa)
Take this hammer (Whoa)
And carry it to the captain (Whoa)
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone
I don't want no cornbread and molasses
I don't want no goddamn cornbread and molasses
i don't want no cornbread and molasses
It hurts my pride, it hurts my pride
