This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy

For my size, honey, for my size



Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow

Baby, how can I roll when the wheels won't go



Up on the mountain just to see my honey

And I ain't coming back, lord, I ain't coming back



This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy

For my size, honey, for my size



It's a long way to Hazard a long way to Harian

Just to get a little booze, just get a little booz



This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy

For my size, honey, for my size



Ain't one hammer in this tonnel

That rings like mine that rings like mine



This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy

For my size, honey, for my size



It rings like silver and shines like gold

It rings like silver and shines like gold



This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy

For my size, honey, for my size



Somebody stole my nine pound hammer

They've took it and gone, they've took it and gone



This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy

For my size, honey, for my size



That nine pound hammer that killed John Henry

Ain't a gonna kill me, ain't a gonna kill me



This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy

For my size, honey, for my size
