Townes Van Zandt - Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics

This nine pound hammer, it’s a little too heavy For my size, honey, for my size I’m goin on the mountain, gonna see my baby But I ain’t comin’ back, no, I ain’t comin’ back Chorus Roll on buddy, don’t you roll too slow How can I roll, when the wheels won’t go Roll on buddy, pull a load of coal How can I pull , when the wheels won’t roll Well, 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 Well, when I’m long gone you can make my tombstone Outta number nine coal, outta number nine coal (chorus) (inst. break) (chorus) Townes Van Zandt Lyrics Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics
