Take This Hammer

Johnny Tillotson

Take this hammer, take it to the Captain
Take this hammer, take it to the Captain
Take this hammer, take it to the Captain
Tell him I'm gone, oh, tell him I'm gone

I'm gonna ride that midnight special
I'm gonna ride that midnight special
I'm gonna ride that midnight special
And I ain't coming back, oh, I ain't coming back

Take this hammer, take it to the Captain
Take this hammer, take it to the Captain
Take this hammer, take it to the Captain
Tell him I'm gone, oh, tell him I'm gone

I don't want your cold iron shackles
I don't want your cold iron shackles
Now I don't want your cold iron shackles
Cause they hurt my leg oh they hurt my leg

Take this hammer, take it to the Captain
Take this hammer, take it to the Captain
Take this hammer, take it to the Captain
Tell him I'm gone, oh, tell him I'm gone
