Bluegrass Songs - Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
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
