Songtext Nine pound hammer Flatt & Scruggs

Nine pound hammer

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 ]
