Take This Hammer Lyrics - Red Sovine

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 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's flyin' tell him I's flyin' 

Tell the captain I was headed for the river tell the captain I was headed for the river 

Tell the captain I was headed for the river tell him I swim tell him I swim 

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 gone gone tell him I'm gone 

When that steamboat comes down the river when that steamboat comes down the river 

When that steamboat comes down the river I'm a gonna swim when it comes by 

Twenty-five miles in Mississippi twenty-five miles in Mississippi 

Twenty-five miles in Mississippi tell him I'm gone gone gone tell him I'm gone 

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 tell him I'm gone
