Nine Pound Hammer - Merle Travis

Composed by：arr. M. Christian

This nine pound hammer it's a little too heavy

For my size baby for my size

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

But I ain't comin' back well I ain't comin' back

Roll on buddy don't you roll so slow

Tell me how can I roll when the wheels won't go

Roll on buddy pull a load of coal

Now how can I pull when wheels won'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

Well when I'm long gone you can make my tombstone

Outta number nine coal outta number nine coal

Hey roll on buddy don't you roll so slow

How can I roll when the wheels won't go

Roll on buddy pull your load of coal

Just how can I pull when wheels won't roll

Tell me how can I pull when wheels won't roll
