Nine Pound Hammer |
This nine pound hammer |
Is a little too heavy |
For my size |
Buddy, for my size |
I’m going on the mountain |
Just to see my baby |
And I ain’t coming back |
No, I ain’t coming back |
Roll on buddy |
Don’t you roll so slow |
How can I roll |
When the wheels won’t go |
Roll on buddy |
Pull a load of coal |
How can I pull |
When the wheels don’t roll |
There ain’t one hammer |
Down in this tunnel |
That can ring like mine |
That can ring like mine |
This old hammer |
It killed John Henry |
Ain’t gonna kill me |
Ain’t gonna kill me |
Rings like silver |
Shines like gold |
Rings like silver |
Shines like gold |
Roll on buddy |
Don’t you roll so slow |
How can I roll |
When the wheels won’t go |
Roll on buddy |
Pull a load of coal |
How can I pull |
When the wheels don’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 |
Roll on buddy |
Don’t you roll so slow |
How can I roll |
When the wheels won’t go |
Roll on buddy |
Pull a load of coal |
How can I pull |
When the wheels won’t roll |
