This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy for my size it's for my size
Now roll on buddy don't you go so slow well can't I go if my wheels won't roll
[ dobro ]
Well there ain't want no Hazzard in this coal county
And it rains like mine honey it rains like mine
For it rings like silver and it shines like gold
For it rings like silver and it shines like gold
Well roll on buddy don't you go so slow
Well can't I go if the wheels won't roll
[ fiddle ]
Oh the nine pound hammer that killed John Henry
Ain't a gonna kill me ain't a honna kill me
Now roll on buddy don't you go so slow
Well can't I go if the wheels won't roll
[ ac.guitar ]
When I pass on right on my tombstone
This coal miner is a long time gone
Well roll on buddy don't you go so slow
well can't I go if the wheels won't roll
