Take This Hammer

(album: Moving On Skiffle - 2023)

Take this hammer, take 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

And 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
Won't you tell him I was flyin'?

Oh, this old hammer ringed like silver
This old hammer rather ringed like silver
Yeah, this hammer rather ringed like silver
And it shined like gold
And it shined like gold

Won't you take this hammer hammer hammer? Take it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Won't you tell him I'm gone
Won't you tell him I'm gone

Well, if he asks you was I running
If he asks you was I running
If he asks you was I running
You can tell him I was flying
You can tell him I was flying

And if he asks you was I laughing
If he asks you was I laughing
If he asks you was I laughing
You can tell him I was crying
Tell him I was crying
You can tell him I was crying

Let's take this hammer hammer hammer? Take it to the captain
Take this hammer, won't you take it to the captain?
Take this hammer, take it to the captain
You can tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone gone gone
Tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone gone
Tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone
