Flatt And Scruggs - Take This Hammer Lyrics

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
