Nine Pound Hammer

Roll on,buddy
Don't you roll so slow
How can I roll
When the whrrls won't go

This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
For my size
Honey, for my size

I'm going on the mountain
Going to see my baby
And I ain't coming back
Well, I ain't coming back

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

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

It's a long way to Harlan
It's a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little brew
Just to get a little brew

And when I'm long gone
You can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal

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

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

This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
For my size
Honey, for my size

I'm going on the mountain
Going to see my baby
And I ain't coming back
No, I ain't coming back
