Bluegrass Songs - Lyrics

Nine pound hammer

This nine pound hammeris a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my size



    Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
    Baby, how can I roll when the wheels won't go



Up on the mountain just to see my honey
And I ain't coming back, lord, I ain't coming back



  * Refrain



It's a long way to Hazard a long way to Harian
Just to get a little booze, just get a little booz

 

  * Refrain



Ain't one hammer in this tonnel
That rings like mine that rings like mine



  * Refrain



It rings like silver and shines like gold
It rings like silver and shines like gold



  * Refrain



Somebody stole my nine pound hammer
They've took it and gone, they've took it and gone



  * Refrain



That nine pound hammer that killed John Henry
Ain't a gonna kill me, ain't a gonna kill me



  * Refrain
