It’s hard ignoring signs, The whispered words, the prying eyes, With your head held high, Believe in your ways, free your mind.
Go little rose among the thorns, With lights you're alive, and courage you’re borne, Away from the ties and levers that hold you down.
And in the darkest night, The crystalline northern lights, In their glow, carry you home, And in your heart you know, you'll never be alone.

Chorus

Take this hammer and carry it to the captain
Take this hammer and carry it to the captain
Take this hammer and carry it to the captain

An’ Tell him I’m gone
Tell him I’m gone

Verse 1

If he ask you was I runnin’
If he ask you was I runnin’
If he ask you was I runnin’
Tell him I was flyin’
Tell him I was flyin’
If he ask you was I laughin’
If he ask you was I laughin’
If he ask you was I laughin’
Tell him I was cryin’
Tell him I was cryin’

Chorus


Take this hammer carry 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


Verse 2


I don’t want no green back dollar
I don’t want no green back dollar
I don’t want no green back dollar


It hurts my pride
It hurts my pride

Chorus

Take this hammer carry 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


Take this hammer carry it to the captain
Tell him I’m gone
Tell him I’m gone


Traditional arranged byManuel Galvin & Jean-Jacques Milteau

Today, it’s tuesday,
And I’m getting out,
Instead of crying, crying,
Crying in my bed.

Outside, it’s cold,
My hands are shivering.
You are in front of me.
I’m telling you, after many years,
All my love.
And that you made me suffer.
Yesterday, it was tuesday,
I told you all I can,
And now I’m free.

Yeah, it was outside, in the cold,
You were in front of me.
I’m telling you, after many years
All my love.
And you said nothing.
