Jimmy Dean - Nine Pound Hammer lyrics

Well that nine pound hammer is a little too heavy

For my size honey for my size

Roll on buddy pull a load o'coal

Now how you gonna roll roll roll when the wheels won't roll

Well it's a long way to Harlem it's a long way to Hazzard

Just to get a little brew my friend get a little brew

And that nine pound hammer it done killed John Henry

It ain't a gonna kill me no siree it ain't gonna kill me

Roll on buddy pull a load o'coal

Now how you gonna roll roll roll when the wheels won't roll

I'm goin' on that mountain I'm gonna see my baby

And I ain't comin' back no siree I ain't comin' back

And when I'm long gone well you can make my tombstone

Out of number nine coal my friend number nine coal

Roll on buddy pull a load o'coal

Now how you gonna roll roll roll when the wheels won't go

Yeah roll on buddy pull a load o'coal

Now how you gonna roll roll roll when them wheels won't go

When them wheels won't go roll on buddy
