Van Morrison - Take This Hammer lyrics

Take this hammer, take it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone

And if he asks you was I runnin'
If he asks you was I runnin'
If he asks you was I runnin'
Tell him I was flyin'
Won't you tell him I was flyin'?

Oh, this old hammer ringed like silver
This old hammer rather ringed like silver
Yeah, this hammer rather ringed like silver
And it shined like gold
And it shined like gold

Won't you take this hammer hammer hammer? Take it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Won't you tell him I'm gone
Won't you tell him I'm gone

Well, if he asks you was I runnin'
If he asks you was I runnin'
If he asks you was I runnin'
You can tell him I was flyin'
You can tell him I was flyin'

And if he asks you was I laughin'
If he asks you was I laughin'
If he asks you was I laughin'
You can tell him I was cryin'
Tell him I was cryin'
You can tell him I was cryin'

Let's take this hammer hammer hammer? Take it to the captain
Take this hammer, won't you take it to the captain?
Take this hammer, take it to the captain
You can tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone gone gone
Tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone gone
Tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone
