Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics & Chords By 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
