Lyrics for 2,118 of Your Favorite Bluegrass Songs

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, tell him I'm a gone

If he asks you, was I renning
If he asks you, was I renning
If he asks you, was I renning
Tell him I was flying

* Refrain

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

* Refrain

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

* Refrain
