TAKE THIS HAMMER
The Notting Hillibilies
1990
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain, (3x)
Tell him I`m gone, tell him I`m gone.
If he ask you was I runnin` (3x)
Tell him I`m flyin`.
If he ask you was I laughin`,
Tell him I was cryin`.
I don`t want no cold iron shackles,
Around my leg.
I don`t want no cornbread and molasses,
They hurt my pride.
I`m go`n` make these few days I started,
Then I`m goin` home.
