Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics


This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
Buddy for my size
Buddy for my size
So I'm going on the mountain
Just to see my baby
And I ain't coming back
No I ain't coming back
Roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
Well, tell me how can I roll
When the wheels won't go
Roll on, buddy
Pull your load of coal
Tell me how can I pull
When the wheels won't roll
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
And when I'm long gone
You can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal
Roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
Well, tell me how can I roll
When the wheels won't go
Roll on, buddy
Pull your load of coal
Tell me how can I pull
When the wheels won't roll

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Oklahoma born Sanford Clark was just out of the U.S Air Force and delivering Canada Dry soda pop when his biggest hit "The Fool" hit the top ten in the summer of 1956. The track featured Al Casey on guitar was produced by Arizona radio DJ and fledgling producer Lee Hazlewood in Phoenix Az. Soon Clark moved from Arizona to Hollywood, and he switched labels eventually from Dot to Jamie. In addition to Hazlewood's production, his recordings also began to feature another Hazlewood discovery named Duane Eddy.
