Lyrics
Oh, the nine-pound hammer (nine-pound hammer)
Is a little too heavy (just a little too heavy)
For my size (for my size)
Just for my size
Roll on, buddy (roll on, buddy)
Won't you roll so slow? (Won't you roll so slow?)
How can you roll (how can you roll)
When the wheels won't go?
Oh, there ain't one hammer (ain't one hammer)
In this tunnel (in this tunnel)
That'll ring like mine (that'll ring like mine)
That'll ring like mine
Rings like silver (rings like silver)
That shine like gold (shine like gold)
Rings like silver (rings like silver)
That shine like gold
A nine-pound hammer (nine-pound hammer)
That Killed John Henry (killed John Henry)
Ain't gonna kill me (ain't gonna kill me)
Ain't gonna kill me
Roll on, buddy (roll on, buddy)
Won't you roll so slow? (Won't you roll so slow?)
How can you roll (how can you roll)
When the wheels won't go?
Now somebody stole (somebody stole)
My nine-pound hammer (nine-pound hammer)
They've took it and gone (they've took it and gone)
They've took it and gone
Roll on, buddy (roll on, buddy)
Won't you roll so slow? (Won't you roll so slow?)
How can you roll (how can you roll)
When the wheels won't go?
