Nine Pound Hammer

Oh, I went up on the mountain, want to see my baby
Lord, I ain't coming back, no ain't coming back

Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
Baby, how can I roll when the wheel won't go?

Oh there ain't one hammer in this tunnel
That ring like money, that ring like money

It rings like silver and shine like gold
Rings like silver and shine like gold

Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
Baby, how can I roll when the wheel won't go?

Oh, that nine pound hammer that killed John Henry
Ain't gonna kill me, ain't gonna kill me

Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
Baby, how can I roll when the wheel won't go?

Roll on baby, don't you roll so slow
Baby, how can I roll when the wheel won't go?
