Nine Pound Hammer Songtext

von Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys

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
* refrain
It's a long way to hazard a long way to harian
Just to get a little booze, just get a little booz
* refrain
Ain't one hammer in this tonnel
That rings like mine that rings like mine
* refrain
It rings like silver and shines like gold
It rings like silver and shines like gold
* refrain
Somebody stole my nine pound hammer
They've took it and gone, they've took it and gone
* refrain
That nine pound hammer that killed john henry
Ain't a gonna kill me, ain't a gonna kill me
* refrain
