Nine Pound Hammer
This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
Buddy, for my size, size, size
Buddy, for my size
So, I'm going on the mountain
Just to see my baby
And I ain't coming back
No, I ain't coming back
So, roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
Well, tell me how can I roll, roll, roll
When them wheels won't go
Hey, roll on, buddy
Pull your load of coal
But, tell me how can I pull-ull-ull
When these wheels won't go
It's a long way to Harlan
It's a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little brew, brew, brew
Just to get a little brew
And when I die
You can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal
B'roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
Well, tell me how can I roll, roll, roll
When these wheels won't go
Hey, roll on, buddy (roll on, buddy)
Pull your load of coal
But, tell me how can I pull-ull-ull
When them wheels won't go
Hey, roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
But, tell me how can I roll, roll, roll
When these wheels won't go
Yeah, roll on, buddy (roll on, buddy)
Pull your load of coal
Just tell me how can I pull-ull-ull
When these wheels won't go
Just tell me how can I roll, roll, roll
When these wheels won't go
Just tell me how can I roll, roll, roll
When these wheels won't go
Is a little too heavy
Buddy, for my size, size, size
Buddy, for my size
So, I'm going on the mountain
Just to see my baby
And I ain't coming back
No, I ain't coming back
So, roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
Well, tell me how can I roll, roll, roll
When them wheels won't go
Hey, roll on, buddy
Pull your load of coal
But, tell me how can I pull-ull-ull
When these wheels won't go
It's a long way to Harlan
It's a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little brew, brew, brew
Just to get a little brew
And when I die
You can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal
B'roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
Well, tell me how can I roll, roll, roll
When these wheels won't go
Hey, roll on, buddy (roll on, buddy)
Pull your load of coal
But, tell me how can I pull-ull-ull
When them wheels won't go
Hey, roll on, buddy
Don't you roll so slow
But, tell me how can I roll, roll, roll
When these wheels won't go
Yeah, roll on, buddy (roll on, buddy)
Pull your load of coal
Just tell me how can I pull-ull-ull
When these wheels won't go
Just tell me how can I roll, roll, roll
When these wheels won't go
Just tell me how can I roll, roll, roll
When these wheels won't go
