Flatt & Scruggs - Take This Hammer 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 Tell him I'm a-gone, just tell him I'm a gone If he asks you, was I running If he asks you, was I running If he asks you, was I running Tell him I was flying, tell him I was flying I don't want your old darn shackles I don't want your old darn shackles I don't want your old darn shackles It hurts my leg, hurts my leg I don't want no greenback dollar I don't want no greenback dollar I don't want no greenback dollar It hurts my pride, hurts my pride
