about

Nine Pound Hammer is a traditional bluegrass song. Its roots go back as far as 1891 and tells a story stained with blood, dust and love.
This is Bog art's version, taken from the band's recent recording sessions

lyrics

Nine Pound Hammer

This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
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 roll

I'm goin' back to the mountain just to see my baby
ain't a comin' back NO I ain't a comin' back

There ain’t no hammer down in this tunnel
That can ring like mine that can ring like mine
It rings like silver it shines like gold
It rings like silver it shines like gold

This old hammer it killed John Henry
Ain’t gonna kill me Ain’t gonna kill me

It's a long way to Hazzard and a long way to Harlan Town
I'm goin' to see my baby and I’m going to pull her down
