Lyrics

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 *
Refrain It's a long way to
Hazard a long way to
Harian Just to get a little booze, just get a little booz *
Refrain Ain't one hammer in this tonnel
That rings like mine that rings like mine *
Refrain It rings like silver and shines like gold
It rings like silver and shines like gold *
Refrain Somebody stole my nine pound hammer
They've took it and gone, they've took it and gone *
Refrain That nine pound hammer that killed
John Henry
Ain't a gonna kill me, ain't a gonna kill me *
Refrain
