This Nine Pound Hammer
Is A Little Too Heavy
Buddy For My 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:]
Roll On Buddy
Don't You Roll So Slow
Well, Tell Me How Can I Roll
When The Wheels Won't Go
Roll On Buddy
Pull You Load Of Coal
Tell Me How Can I Pull
When The Wheels Won'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

[Chorus]
