Lyrics Nine Pound Hammer - The Brothers Four

Now this nine pound hammer is a little
Too heavy for my size honey for my size
I'm going on the mountain gonna see my baby
And I ain't coming back no, I ain't coming back

Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy pull a load of coal
How can I pull when the wheels won't roll

Now this nine pound hammer is a little
Too heavy for my size honey for my size
I'm going on the mountain gonna see my baby
And I ain't coming back no, I ain't coming back

Roll on buddy don't you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy pull a load of coal
How can I pull when the wheels won't roll

Now when I'm long gone
Gonna build my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal

Roll on buddy don't you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy pull a load of coal
How can I pull when the wheels won't roll

Now, when I'm long gone
Gonna build my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Lord out of number nine coal
