Nine Pound Hammer - Lester Flatt/Earl Scruggs/The Foggy Mountain Boys
This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
It's 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
I'm goin' on the mountain gonna see my baby
But I ain't a comin' back lord I ain't a comin' back
Roll on buddy don't you roll so slow baby
How can I roll when the wheels won't go
It's a long way to hazzard and a long way to harlan
Just to get a little brew just to get a little brew
Roll on buddy don't you roll so slow baby
How can I roll when the wheels won't go
Now when I'm long gone you can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal out of number nine coal
Roll on buddy pull a load o'coal baby
How can I go when my wheels won't go
This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
It's 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
