Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics
Nine Pound Hammer - Merle Travis
Written by：Travis
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
This nine pound hammer
It's a little too heavy
For my size
For my size
I'm goin' on the mountain
Gonna see my baby
But I ain't comin' back
Well I ain't comin' back
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I pull
When wheels won't roll
It's a long way to harlan
It's a long way to hazard
Just to get a little brew
Just to get a little brew
When I'm long gone
You can make my tombstone
Outta number nine coal
Outta number nine coal
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy
Pull your load of coal
How can I pull
When wheels won't roll
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
