Lyrics:

This nine pound hammer, its a little too heavy

For my size, honey, for my size

Im goin on the mountain, gonna see my baby

But I aint comin back, no, I aint comin back



Chorus

Roll on buddy, dont you roll too slow

How can I roll, when the wheels wont go

Roll on buddy, pull a load of coal

How can I pull , when the wheels wont roll



Well, its a long way to harlan, its a long way to hazard

Just to get a little brew, just to get a little brew

Well, when Im long gone you can make my tombstone

Outta number nine coal, outta number nine coal



(chorus)



(inst. break)
