John Prine - Nine Pound Hammer lyrics
Your rating:
This nine pound hammer Is a little too heavy Buddy for my size Buddy for my size So I'm going on the mountain Just to see my baby And I ain't coming back No I ain't coming back Chorus: Roll on buddy Don't you roll so slow Well, tell me how can I roll When the wheels won't go Roll on buddy Pull you load of coal Tell me how can I pull When the 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 And when I'm long gone You can make my tombstone Out of number nine coal Out of number nine coal Repeat Chorus:
