"Take This Hammer" lyrics

Take this hammer, take it to the captain
Take this hammer, oh, and take it to the captain, yeah
Take this hammer, boy, and take it to the captain, oh, oh
And tell him I'm gone, gone, yeah
Tell him I'm gone

If he asks you was I runnin'
If he asks you, yeah, was I runnin', yeah
If he asks you, oh, was I runnin', yeah
Here's what I want you to tell him, ha ha
Tell him I was flyin', boy, ha ha
Yeah, tell him I was flyin'

If he asks you, yeah, yeah, was I laughin'
If he asks you, yeah, was I laughin', ooh
If he asks you, hey, was I laughin', oh, oh, oh
Tell him I was cryin', boy
Tell him I was cryin'

So take this hammer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And take it to the captain, oh yeah
(Take it to the captain)
Now take the hammer, take it, take it, yeah, yeah
