Merle Travis was a young musician who grew up with his family, all mine workers. One day he got the inspiration for his big hit song : "Nine Pound Hammer". This was in the eastern Ky. coalfields. Verse #! This nine pound hammer, is just too heavy, for my size, buddy for my size. Rings like silver, sounds like gold, rings like silver sounds like gold. Chorus: Roll on buddy, pull your load of coal, buddy how can I pull, when the wheels wont go. Verse #2 Its a long way to Harlan, its a long way to Hazard, just to get a little booze, just to get a little booze. Verse #3 After im long gone, you cam make my tombstone, out of #9 coal, out of #9 coal.
