Well, this nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
C G C
For my size, honey for my size
C F
I'm going on the mountain, going to see my baby
C G C
And I am not coming back, Lord I am not coming back
[Chorus]
C F
Oh, roll on Buddy, don't you roll 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
C G C
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C F
Well, it's a long way to Harlem, it's a long way to Hazard
C G C
Just to get a little brew, just to get a little brew
C F
Now when I'm long gone you can make my tombstone
C G C
Out of number nine coal, out of number nine coal
[Chorus]
C F
Oh, roll on Buddy, don't you roll 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
C G C
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
