Take This Hammer

Take This Hammer - Roud #4299

Working on a railroad for a dollar a day
Working on a railroad for a dollar a day
Working on a railroad for a dollar a day
I got to get my money, got to get my pay

Chorus
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, Lord, tell him I’m gone

Break

And If he asks you, was I running
If he asks you, was I running
Oh If he asks you, was I running
Tell him I was flying, Lord tell him I was flying

And if he asks you, was I laughing
If he asks you, was I laughing
Oh if he asks you, was I laughing
Tell him I was crying, Lord tell him I was crying

Chorus and Break

Oh this old hammer, it’ll ring like silver
This old hammer, ring like silver
This old hammer, ring like silver
But it shines like gold, Lord it shines like gold

Chorus and Break
