Nine Pound Hammer is a variation of an old prison work song Take This Hammer" (Roud 4299) i It was collected by John and Alan Lomax. The song "Nine Pound Hammer" has a few phrases in common with this song, and the same Roud number. "Swannanoa Tunnel" is similar, and this group of songs are referred to as 'hammer songs' or 'roll songs'. According to the Columbia State University, the earliest collected version was made by Newman Ivey White in 1915. I'm just learning to play fiddle so make of it what u want, it's all on the spot improvesation. I added the sound effect like it's an old record to help cover up my poor recording techniques
