Nine Pound Hammer Songtext
von Johnny Cash

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
