Nine Pound Hammer Full Lyrics

Well, this nine pound hammer is a little too heavy For my size, honey, for my size I'm goin' on the mountain, gonna see my baby And I ain't comin' back, Lord, I ain't comin' back 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 a coal How can I go when my wheels won't roll 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 Roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow How can I go when my wheels won't roll Oh, roll on buddy, pull a load a coal How can I go when my wheels won't roll
