Take this hammer and carry it to my captain
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone
Take this hammer and carry it to my captain

Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone
If he asks you where I'm going
On the picket line, say on the picket line
If he asks you where I'm going

On the picket line, on the picket line
If he asks you how I'm feeling
I'm feeling fine, I'm feeling fine
If he asks you how I'm feeling

I'm feeling fine, I'm feeling fine
I won't work when my buddy ain't working
He's got to eat too, he's got to eat too
I won't work when my buddy ain't working

He's got to eat too, he's got to eat too
Take this hammer and carry it to my captain
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone
Take this hammer and carry it to my captain

Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone
