"Tell Him I'm Gone" lyrics

Tell Him I'm Gone

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 whippings

I ain't gonna take no more
No more this kicks and his 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
About a ninety-nine caliber
Captain got a big gun
About a ninety-nine caliber

Well, the captain got a big gun
About 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
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
Take this hammer
Take it to the capt
Take this hammer
