Take This Hammer Lyrics

Flatt & Scruggs Take This Hammer

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
