Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics by John Prine

Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics

    This nine pound hammer
    Is a little too heavy
    Buddy for my size
    Buddy for my size
    So i'm going on the mountain
    Just to see my baby
    And i ain't coming back
    No i ain't coming back

    Chorus:

    Roll on buddy
    Don't you roll so slow
    Well, tell me how can i roll
    When the wheels won't go
    Roll on buddy
    Pull you load of coal
    Tell me how can i pull
    When the wheels won't roll

    It's a long way to harlan
    It's a long way to hazard
    Just to get a little brew
    Just to get a little brew

    And when i'm long gone
    You can make my tombstone
    Out of number nine coal
    Out of number nine coal

    Repeat chorus:
