"Nine Pound Hammer" lyrics
Jerry Garcia & David Grisman Lyrics
(originally by Merle Travis)
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
Buddy, for my size
Buddy, for my size
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
I'm going on a mountain
Gonna see my babe
And I ain't coming back
No, I ain't coming back
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
Buddy, for my size
Buddy, for my size
I'm going on a mountain
Gonna see my babe
And I ain't coming back
And I ain't coming back
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
Buddy, for my size
Buddy, for my size
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
I'm going on a mountain
Gonna see my babe
And I ain't coming back
No, I ain't coming back
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
Buddy, for my size
Buddy, for my size
I'm going on a mountain
Gonna see my babe
And I ain't coming back
And I ain't coming back
Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels won't go
