Nine Pound Hammer
This nine pound [G]hammer is a little too [C]heavy
For my [G]size [D]buddy for my [G]size
Roll on buddy don't you roll so [C]slow
How can I [G]roll [D]when the wheels won't [G]go
It's a long way to Harlan
And a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little booze
Just to get a little booze
Oh, the nine pound hammer killed John Henry
Ain't gonna kill me
Ain't gonna kill me
There ain't one hammer down in this tunnel
That can ring like mine, that can ring like mine
Rings like silver, shines like gold
Rings like silver, shines like gold
Buddy when I'm long gone, won't you make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal, out of number nine coal
I'm going on the mountain, just to see my baby
And I ain't coming back, no I ain't coming back
