Lyrics

You take this hammer take it to the capt hey take this hammer take it to the capt
Take this hammer take it to the capt you can tell him I’m gone tell him I’m gone
‘Cause I ain’t gonna take no more kicks and whippings
No I ain’t gonna take no kicks and whipping
I ain’t gonna take no more no more this kicks and whippings
You can tell him I’m gone gone gone you can tell him I’m gone
Captain call me a hard headed devil well the captain call me a hard headed devil
Well the captain call me you hard headed devil
And that ain’t my name that ain’t my name
Well the Captain got a big gun bout a ninety nine caliber
Uuh Captain got a big gun bout a ninety nine caliber
Well the captain got a big gun bout a ninety nine caliber
He gonna shoot me down if he ever catches me gonna shoot me down
But you tell him that I went where the great goose goes
Tell him that I’m gone where the great goose goes
Tell him I’m gone tell him I’m gone just tell him I’m gone
Take this hammer take it to the capt hey take this hammer take it to the capt
