Take This Hammer Lyrics & Chords By The Osborne Brothers

(Huddie Ledbetter)
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 gone, 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'
Tell him I'm flyin', tell him I'm flyin'.
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 gone, tell him I'm gone.
--- Instrumental ---
I don't want no cold iron shackles
I don't want no cold iron shackles
I don't want no cold iron shackles
It hurts my leg, well, it hurts my leg.
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 gone, tell him I'm gone...
