Johnny Cash — Nine Pound Hammer

[Verse 1] Well, this nine pound hammer is a little too heavy For my size, honey for my size I'm going on the mountain, going to see my baby And I am not coming back, Lord I am not coming back [Chorus] Oh, roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow How can I go when my wheels won't roll Roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal How can I go when my wheels won't roll [Verse 2] Well, it's a long way to Harlem, it's a long way to Hazard Just to get a little brew, just to get a little brew Now when I'm long gone you can make my tombstone Out of number nine coal, out of number nine coal [Chorus] Oh, roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow How can I go when my wheels won't roll Roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal How can I go when my wheels won't roll
