Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics by The Downstreamers

The Reverend Earl Dogwood and His Downstreamers

0

This nine pound hammer
Is getting a little too heavy
For my size
Honey, for my size
I'm going up on the mountain
Gonna see my baby
And I ain't coming back
Lord, I ain't coming back
So roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
So roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I pull
When the wheels won't go
It's a long way to Harlan
And it's a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little brew
Just to get a little brew
When I'm dead and gone
You can build my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal
So roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
So roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I pull
When the wheels won't go
