Lyrics for Song: Nine Pound Hammer
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Flatt And Scruggs



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 ]This nine pound hammer...
