Nine Pound Hammer Songtext
von Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
It′s for my size honey for my size
Roll on buddy don't you roll so slow
Baby how can I roll when the wheels won′t go

[ Dobro ]
I'm goin' on the mountain gonna see my baby
But I ain′t a comin′ back Lord I ain't a comin′ back
Roll on buddy don't you roll so slow
Baby how can I roll when the wheels won′t go


[ Fiddle ]
It's a long way to Hazzard and a long way to Harlan
Just to get a little brew just to get a little brew
Roll on buddy don′t you roll so slow
Baby how can I roll when the wheels won't go

[ Banjo ]
Now 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
Baby how can I go when my wheels won′t go

[ Dobro ]
This nine pound hammer...
