This Hammer Lyrics

(S. Davis, M. Winwood, S. Winwood, P. York)

Workin' on the railroad for a dollar a day
Workin' on the railroad for a dollar a day
Workin' on the railroad for a dollar a day
Gotta earn my money, boys, gotta earn my pay

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, buddy, you can tell him I'm gone

If he asks ya, was I laughin'
If he asks ya, was I laughin'
If he asks ya, was I laughin'
Tell him I'm cryin, buddy, tell him I'm cryin'

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, buddy, you can tell him I'm gone
