Nine Pound Hammer Roll On Buddy lyrics

PLAY UNKNOWN Nine Pound Hammer Roll On Buddy video Nine Pound Hammer (Roll on Buddy)

cho: Roll on buddy! Don`t you roll so slow.
How`m I gonna roll, when the wheels won`t go.
Roll on buddy! Pull a load of coal
How`m I gonna pull, when the wheels won`t roll.

This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, buddy, for my size.

I`m a- goin` on the mountain for to see my baby
An` I ain`t comin` back. Lord, I ain`t comin` back.

Well when I die, you can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal, out of number nine coal.

Ain`t nobody`s hammer on this here mountain
Rings like mine, that rings like mine.

Well this old hammer, it killed John Henry
Killed John Henry, but it won`t kill me.

An` this old hammer rings like silver
Rings like silver, rings like gold.

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.
