Johnny Cash Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics

Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics

Well, this nine pound hammer is a little too heavy

For my size, honey for my size

I'm goin' on the mountain, gonna see my baby

And I ain't comin' back, Lord I ain't comin' back



Oh, roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow

How can I go when my wheels won't roll

Roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal

How can I go when my wheels won't roll



Well, it's a long way to Harlem, it's a long way to Hazard

Just to get a little brew, just to get a little brew

Now 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 go when my wheels won't roll

Oh, roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal

How can I go when my wheels won't roll
