Nine Pound Hammer

Nine Pound Hammer

Oh nine pound hammer, it's a little too heavy
For my size, baby, for my size
Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can you roll, when the wheels won't go?

Solo Violin

Oh nine pound hammer, in this tunnel
That can ring like mine, that can ring like mine
Rings like silver, and shines like gold
Rings like silver, and shines like gold

Solo Banjo

Oh nine pound hammer, that killed John Henry
Ain't gonna kill me, ain't gonna kill me
Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can you roll, when the wheels won't go?

Solo Banjo

And so about the story, nine pound hammer
Ain't tickin' him no, ain't tickin' him no
Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can you roll, when the wheels won't go?
