Nine Pound Hammer

Well the nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
Trying to (?) my side
Trying to (?) my side

Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels don't go

Well it's a long way to Harlan
And a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little brew
Just to get a little brew

Roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I pull
When the wheels don't roll

I'm going on a mountain
Just to see my baby
And I ain't coming back
No I ain't coming back

Roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I pull
When the wheels don't roll

And when I die
Make my tombstone
Have a number nine coal
Have a number nine coal

Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the wheels don't go
