Nine Pound Hammer, lyric by John Prine

from the songs album Sweet Revenge


This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
Buddy for my size
Buddy for my size
So i'm going on the mountain
Just to see my baby
And i ain't coming back
No i ain't coming back

Chorus:

Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
Well, tell me how can i roll
When the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy
Pull you load of coal
Tell me how can i pull
When the wheels won't roll

It's a long way to harlan
It's a long way to hazard
Just to get a little brew
Just to get a little brew

And when i'm long gone
You can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal

Repeat chorus:
