Lyrics Nine Pound Hammer - Bill Monroe

Oh, I went up on the mountain, went to see my baby
Lord, I ain′t coming back, no I ain't coming back
Help 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 mine, that ring like mine
It ring like silver and shine like gold
It ring 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 a-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?
