Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics - Sweet Revenge - John Prine

This nine pound hammer 

Is a little too heavy 

Buddy for my 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 

Roll on, buddy 

Don't you roll so slow 

Well, tell me how can I roll 

When the wheels won't go

Roll on, buddy 

Pull your load of coal 

Tell me how can I pull 

When the wheels won't roll 

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 

And when I'm long gone 

You can make my tombstone 

Out of number nine coal 

Out of number nine coal 

Roll on, buddy 

Don't you roll so slow 

Well, tell me how can I roll 

When the wheels won't go 

Photos 

Roll on, buddy 

Pull your load of coal 

Tell me how can I pull 

When the wheels won't roll
