Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics

This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my sizeRoll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
Baby, how can I roll when the wheels won't goUp on the mountain just to see my honey
And I ain't coming back, lord, I ain't coming backThis nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my sizeIt's a long way to Hazard a long way to Harian
Just to get a little booze, just get a little boozThis nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my sizeAin't one hammer in this tonnel
That rings like mine that rings like mineThis nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my sizeIt rings like silver and shines like gold
It rings like silver and shines like goldThis nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my sizeSomebody stole my nine pound hammer
They've took it and gone, they've took it and goneThis nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my sizeThat nine pound hammer that killed John Henry
Ain't a gonna kill me, ain't a gonna kill meThis nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my size
