Lyrics:

Take dis hammer, carry it to the captain
Take dis hammer, carry it to the captain
Take dis hammer, carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone,
Tell him I'm gone,

If he asks you was I runnin'
If he asks you was I runnin'
If he asks you was I runnin'
Tell him I was flyin',
Tell him I was flyin',

If he asks you was I laughin'
If he asks you was I laughin'
If he asks you was I laughin'
Tell him I was cryin'
Tell him I was cryin',

They wanna feed me cornbread and molasses,
They wanna feed me cornbread and molasses,
They wanna feed me cornbread and molasses,
But I got my pride,
Well, I got my pride.
