Nine Pound Hammer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] So roll on, buddy, don't you roll so slow Well, tell me how can I roll, roll, roll, when the wheels won't go? Hey, roll on, buddy, pull your load of coal And tell me how can I pull when the wheels won't go? [Acoustic Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] So roll on, buddy, don't you roll so slow Well, tell me how can I roll, roll, roll, when the wheels won't roll? Hey, roll on, buddy, pull your load of coal And tell me how can I pull when the wheels won't go? [Piano Solo] [Chorus] Hey, roll on, buddy, don't you roll so slow Well, tell me how can I roll, roll, roll, when the wheels won't go? Hey, roll on, buddy, pull your load of coal Just tell me how can I pull when the wheels won't go? Yeah, tell me how can I roll, roll, roll when the wheels won't roll? Well, tell me how can I roll, roll, roll when the wheels won't go?
