Nine Pound Hammer

                      C          
Well, this nine pound hammer is a 
            F
little too heavy
       C     G            C
For my size, honey for my size
                 C                 
I'm going on the mountain, going to
        F
 see my baby
                    C     G       
And I am not coming back, Lord I 
             C
am not coming back


[Chorus]
            C                      
Oh, roll on Buddy, don't you roll 
   F
so slow
          C  G              C
How can I go when my wheels won't 
roll
        C                    F
Roll on Buddy, pull a load o'coal
Continues after the ad
          C  G              C
How can I go when my wheels won't 
roll

[Verse 2]
                         C      
Well, it's a long way to Harlem, 
             F
it's a long way to Hazard
                    C      G      
Just to get a little brew, just to
              C
 get a little brew
             C                     
Now when I'm long gone you can make
    F
 my tombstone
                   C     G    
Out of number nine coal, out of 
              C
number nine coal


[Chorus]
            C                      
Oh, roll on Buddy, don't you roll 
   F
so slow

How can I go when my wheels won't 
roll
        C                    F
Roll on Buddy, pull a load o'coal
          C  G              C
How can I go when my wheels won't 
roll
