Take this camel, carry it to the captain
Take this camel, carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
you can tell him I'm gone
If he asks you, boys are runnin'
If he asks you, boys are runnin'
If he asked you, was I runnin'
you can tell him I was flyin'
If he asks you, boys are laughing
If he asks you, boys are laughing
If he asks you, boys are laughing
You can tell him I was cryin'
I don't want no home bread and glasses
I don't want no home bread and glasses
I don't want no bone bread and lashes
It hurts my pride, it hurts my pride
Well, this hammer looks like silver
Well, this hammer looks like silver
Well, this camel looks like silver,
it feels like gold, it feels like gold.
Take this camel and carry
Take this family, carry it to the captain
Take this family, carry it to the captain
You can tell him I'm gone
