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 o'coal
How can I go
When my wheels won't roll
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
No I ain't comin' back
Oh roll on buddy
Don't you roll so slow
Ow 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
Now when I'm long gone
Gonna build my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal
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
Now when I'm long gone
You can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal
