Nine Pound Hammer · letra

Verse 1

Well, this nine pound hammer is a little too heavy For my size, honey for my size I'm going on the mountain, going to see my baby And I am not coming back, Lord I am not coming back

Chorus

Oh, roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow How can I go when my wheels won't roll Roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal How can I go when my wheels won't roll

Verse 2

Well, it's a long way to Harlem, it's a long way to Hazard Just to get a little brew, just to get a little brew Now when I'm long gone you can make my tombstone Out of number nine coal, out of number nine coal

Chorus

Oh, roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow How can I go when my wheels won't roll Roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal How can I go when my wheels won't roll
