Johnny Cash - Nine Pound Hammer lyrics
[Johnny Cash - Nine Pound Hammer lyrics]
Well, this nine pound hammer is
A little too heavy
For my size, honey for my size
I'm going on the mountain
Going to see my baby
And I am not coming back
Lord I am not coming back
Oh, roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
Roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
Well, it's a long way to Harlem
It's a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little brew
Just to get a little brew
Now when I'm long gone you
Can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal
Oh, roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
Roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
A little too heavy
For my size, honey for my size
I'm going on the mountain
Going to see my baby
And I am not coming back
Lord I am not coming back
Oh, roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
Roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
Well, it's a long way to Harlem
It's a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little brew
Just to get a little brew
Now when I'm long gone you
Can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal
Oh, roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
Roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
