Nine Pound Hammer

Nine Pound Hammer - Hank Thompson/His Brazos Valley Boys

This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy

For my size oh baby for my size

I'm goin' on the mountain I gotta see my baby

And I ain't comin' back no I ain't comin' back

Say roll on buddy don't you roll so slow

How can I go when the wheels won't roll

Say roll on buddy pull a load o'coal

How can I go when the wheels won't roll

Well it's a long way to harlan and a long way to hazzard

Just to get a little brew just to get a little brew

Now when I'm long gone baby make my tombstone

Out of number nine coal out of number nine coal

Say roll on buddy don't you roll so slow

How can I go when the wheels won't roll

Say roll on buddy pull a load o'coal

How can I go when the wheels won't roll

Say roll on buddy don't you roll so slow

How can I go when the wheels won't roll

Say roll on buddy pull a load o'coal

How can I go when the wheels won't roll
