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
You can tell him I'm gone
You can 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'
You can tell him I was flyin'
You can tell him I was flyin'
If he ask you, was I laughin'
If he ask you, was I laughin'
If he ask you, was I laughin'
You can tell him I was cryin'
You can tell him I was cryin'

But that old captain, was a mean old captain
But that old captain, was a mean old captain
But that old captain, was a mean old captain
You can tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone
'Cause I don't want no cornbread and molasses
I don't want no cornbread and molasses
I don't want no cornbread and molasses
It hurts my pride
It hurts my pride
