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
* Refrain
I don't want your cold darn shackles
I don't want your cold darn shackles
I don't want your cold darn shackles
It hurts my leg,hurts my leg
* Refrain
I don't want no greenback dollar
I don't want no greenback dollar

It hurts my pride, hurts my pride

If he asks you, was I laughing
If he asks you, was I laughing
If he asks you, was I laughing
Tell him I was crying, tell him I was crying
I don't want no cornbread and 'lasses
I don't want no cornbread and 'lasses
I don't want no cornbread and 'lasses
It hurts my pride, It hurts my pride
