john prine - nine pound hammer [live] lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh, this nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
buddy, for my size, size, 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]
so roll on, buddy, don’t you roll so slow
well, tell me how can i roll, roll, roll, when the wheels won’t go?
hey, roll on, buddy, pull your load of coal
well, tell me how can i pull when the wheels won’t go?

[instrumental break]

[verse 2]
it’s a long way to harlan, it’s a long way to hazard
just to get a little brew, brew, 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

[chorus]
and roll on, buddy, don’t you roll so slow
well, tell me how can i roll, roll, roll, when the wheels won’t roll?
hey, roll on, buddy, pull your load of coal
well, tell me how can i pull when the wheels won’t go?
[instrumental break]

[chorus]
hey, roll on, buddy, don’t you roll so slow
well, tell me how can i roll, roll, roll, when the wheels won’t go?
hey, roll on, buddy, pull your load of coal
but tell me how can i pull when the wheels won’t go?
yeah, tell me how can i roll, roll, roll when the wheels won’t roll?
well, tell me how can i roll, roll, roll when the wheels won’t go?

[outro]
thank you
steve goodman
