Lyrics

[00:00.90] This nine pound hammer
[00:12.28] Is a little too heavy
[00:15.04] Buddy for my size
[00:17.79] Buddy for my size
[00:22.30] So I'm going on the mountain
[00:24.60] Just to see my baby
[00:27.36] And I ain't coming back
[00:29.01] No I ain't coming back
[00:32.57] Roll on buddy
[00:35.39] Don't you roll so slow
[00:37.82] Well, tell me how can I roll
[00:40.89] When the wheels won't go
[00:44.44] Roll on buddy
[00:47.28] Pull you load of coal
[00:50.15] Tell me how can I pull
[00:52.07] When the wheels won't roll
[00:56.72] It's a long way to Harlan
[01:20.73] It's a long way to Hazard
[01:23.63] Just to get a little brew
[01:26.85] Just to get a little brew
[01:28.16] And when I'm long gone
[01:32.27] You can make my tombstone
[01:34.88] Out of number nine coal
[01:37.18] Out of number nine coal
[01:40.92] Roll on buddy
[01:43.78] Don't you roll so slow
[01:46.61] Well, tell me how can I roll
[01:49.50] When the wheels won't go
[01:52.44] Roll on buddy
[01:55.24] Pull you load of coal
[01:58.20] Tell me how can I pull
[02:00.90] When the wheels won't roll
[02:05.88]
