Nine Pound Hammer Lyrics
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
…………………………*……………………….
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 your 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
…………………………*……………………….
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 your load of coal
Tell me how can I pull
When the wheels won’t roll
…………………………*……………………….
Guitar Chords
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
Roll on buddy
Don’t you roll so slow
Well, tell me how can I roll roll 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 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
Roll on buddy
Don’t you roll so slow
Well, tell me how can I roll roll 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
Roll on buddy
Don’t you roll so slow
Well, tell me how can I roll roll 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
Well, tell me how can I roll roll roll
When the wheels won’t go
Well, tell me how can I roll roll roll
When the wheels won’t go
Well, tell me how can I roll roll roll
When the wheels won’t go
