Osborne Brothers - Take This Hammer lyrics

(Huddie Ledbetter)

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 gone, tell him I'm gone.

If he ask you was I runnin'

If he ask you was I runnin'

If he ask you was I runnin'

Tell him I'm flyin', tell him I'm flyin'.

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 gone, tell him I'm gone.

--- Instrumental ---

I don't want no cold iron shackles

I don't want no cold iron shackles

I don't want no cold iron shackles

It hurts my leg, well, it hurts my leg.

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 gone, tell him I'm gone...
