Nine Pound Hammer

Merle Travis

Got a nine pound hammer, it's a little too heavy
But for my size, but for my size
Roll on buddy, pull a load of coal
How can I roll, when the wheels don't go?

It's a long way to Harlan, it's a long way to Douglasville
Just to get a little brew, and a little whiskey too
Roll on buddy, pull a load of coal
How can I roll, when the wheels don't go?

See there ain't no hammer, in this tunnel
That can ring like mine, that can ring just like mine
Roll on buddy, pull a load of coal
How can I roll, when the wheels don't go?

Going up a mountain, to get my moonshine
Get it all, get it all
Roll on buddy, pull a load of coal
How can I roll, when the wheels don't go?

When I'm long gone, you can bathe my tombstone
Out of number 9 coal, out of number 9 coal
Roll on buddy, pull a load of coal
How can I roll, when the wheels don't go?
