Osborne Brothers - Nine Pound Hammer lyrics

rate me

(Merle Travis)

Oh, the nine pound hammer is just a little too heavy

Baby for my size baby for my size

Roll on buddy pull a load o'coal

How can I go when my wheels won't roll.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm goin' on the mountain gonna see my baby

But I ain't comin' back Lord I ain't comin' back

Roll on buddy pull a load o'coal

How can I go when my wheels won't roll.

--- Instrumental ---

It's a long way to Harlem it's a long way to Hazzard

Just to get a little brew just to get a little brew

Roll on buddy pull a load o'coal

How can I go when my wheels won't roll.

--- Instrumental ---

Lord, 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

How can I go when my wheels won't roll.

Now roll on buddy don't you roll so slow

How can I go when my wheels won't roll...
