Take This Hammer Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

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 a-gone, just tell him I'm a gone 

If he asks you, was I running 

If he asks you, was I running 

If he asks you, was I running 

Tell him I was flying, tell him I was flying 

I don't want your old darn shackles 

I don't want your old darn shackles 

I don't want your old darn shackles 

It hurts my leg, hurts my leg 

I don't want no greenback dollar 

I don't want no greenback dollar 

I don't want no greenback dollar 

It hurts my pride, hurts my pride
