Tell Him I’m Gone Songtext
von Johnny Cash

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 whipping

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 called me
A hard headed devil
Well, the captain call me
A hard headed devil

Well, the captain call me
"You′re hard headed devil"
And that ain't my name
That ain′t my name

Well, the Captain got a big gun
'Bout a ninety-nine calibre
Uuh, captain got a big gun
′Bout a ninety-nine calibre

Well, the captain got a big gun
About a ninety-nine calibre
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
