Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Nine Pound Hammer
This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
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
Up on the mountain just to see my honey
And I ain't coming back, lord, I ain't coming back
This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my size
It's a long way to Hazard a long way to Harian
Just to get a little booze, just get a little booz
This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my size
Ain't one hammer in this tonnel
That rings like mine that rings like mine
This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my size
It rings like silver and shines like gold
It rings like silver and shines like gold
This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my size
Somebody stole my nine pound hammer
They've took it and gone, they've took it and gone
This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my size
That nine pound hammer that killed John Henry
Ain't a gonna kill me, ain't a gonna kill me
This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my size
