Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics by Ola Belle Reed

Rising Sun Melodies

0

Well, I went up on the mountain
For to see my baby
Oh I ain't a-coming back, Lord, Lord
I ain't a-coming back
Well, roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
Oh, how can I roll, Lord, Lordy
When the wheels won't go?
[Spoken]
Now rock it, man!
Yeah
See, no matter how old you are, you can rock too
I learned to rock 60 years ago
No matter how old you get, you still want to
See, that's the truth, if you admit it
Well, the nine pound hammer
Just a little too heavy
For my size, Lord, Lordy
Lordy for my size
Well, there ain't no hammer
In this whole mountain
That'll ring like mine, Lord, Lordy
Oh, ring like mine
She rings like silver
Shines like gold
Oh she rings like silver, Lord, Lordy
And she shines like gold
Now play her, Dave!
Get in there, Johnny
Yeah, walk it
Play them blues, we played 'em back sixty years ago
Yeah!
Well, nine pound hammer
It killed my buddy
Ain't a-gonna kill me, Lord, Lordy
Ain't a-gonna kill me
Take her, Johnny!
Give her that old whang, man
Well, roll on buddy
Don’t you roll so slow, Lord
How can I roll, Lord, Lordy
When my wheels won’t go?
Now roll on buddy
Try to make your time, Lord
I'm broke down, oh Lordy
And I can't make mine
