Nine Pound Hammer Songtext
von Tony Rice & David Grisman

Well, the nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
It′s for my size, honey, for my size
Oh, roll on, buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won′t go?

It's a long way to Harlan an' a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little brew, just to get a little brew
Oh, roll on, buddy, don′t you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won′t go?


Well, it ain't one hammer that′s in this town
Had a ring like mine, had a ring like mine
Oh, roll on, buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won′t go?

I'm goin′ on the mountain, gotta see my baby
An' I ain't comin′ back, Lord, I ain′t comin' back
Oh, roll on, buddy, pull a load o′coal
How can I pull when the wheels won't roll?

Well, the nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
It′s for my size, honey, for my size
Oh, roll on, buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won′t go?
