Nine Pound Hammer (with The Carter Family) [Mono]
Well 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
Lord I ain't coming back
Roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I go
When my wheels won't roll
Oh roll on, buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I go
When my wheels won't roll
It's a long way to Harlem
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
Roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I go
When my wheels won't roll
Roll on, buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I go
When my wheels won't roll
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
Lord I ain't coming back
Roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I go
When my wheels won't roll
Oh roll on, buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I go
When my wheels won't roll
It's a long way to Harlem
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
Roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I go
When my wheels won't roll
Roll on, buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I go
When my wheels won't roll
