Nine Pound Hammer - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band/Merle Travis

This Nine Pound Hammer

Is a little too heavy

For my side baby for my side

I'm a-goin' to the mountain

Gonna see my baby

But i ain't comin' back

No I ain't comin' back

Roll on buddy

Don't ya roll so slow

Just how can I roll

When my wheels won't go

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

Don't you make my tombstone

Outta number nine coal

Outta number nine coal

Roll on buddy

Don't ya roll so slow

Just how can I roll

When my wheels won't go

Roll on buddy

Who ya roll coal

Just how can I boll

When my wheels won't roll

Roll on buddy

Don't ya roll so slow

Just how can I roll

When my wheels won't go

Roll on buddy

Who ya roll coal

How can I boll

When my wheels won't roll
