Nine Pound Hammer - The Brothers Four

Now 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 no, I ain’t coming back

Roll on buddy, don’t you roll so slow

How can I roll when the wheels won’t go

Roll on buddy pull a load of coal

How can I pull when the wheels won’t roll

Now 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 no, I ain’t coming back

Roll on buddy don’t you roll so slow

How can I roll when the wheels won’t go

Roll on buddy pull a load of coal

How can I pull when the wheels won’t roll

Now when I’m long gone

Gonna build my tombstone

Out of number nine coal

Out of number nine coal

Roll on buddy don’t you roll so slow

How can I roll when the wheels won’t go

Roll on buddy pull a load of coal

How can I pull when the wheels won’t roll

Now, when I’m long gone

Gonna build my tombstone

Out of number nine coal

Lord out of number nine coal
