Chorus 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’,(x3) Tell him I’s a-flyin’, tell him I’s a-flyin’ 
If he ask you, was I laughin’,(x3) Tell him I’s a-cryin’, tell him I’s a-cryin’ 
I don’t want your cold iron shackles,(x3) It hurts my leg, it hurts my leg 
I don’t want no peas and cornbread,(x3) They hurt my pride, they hurt my pride
