Nine Pound Hammer lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, 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 am not coming back, Lord I am not coming back

[Chorus]
Oh, roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
Roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal
How can I go when my wheels won't roll

[Verse 2]
Well, it's a long way to Harlem, it's a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little brew, just to get a little brew
Now when I'm long gone you can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal, out of number nine coal

[Chorus]
Oh, roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
Roll on buddy, pull a load o'coal
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
