This Nine Pound Hammer, |
|
Is a little too heavy, |
|
For my side, baby for my side. |

I'm a-goin' to the mountain, |
|
Gonna see my baby. |
|
But i ain't comin' back, |
|
No. I ain't comin' back. |
|
|
|
Roll on, buddy, |
|
Don't ya roll so slow. |
|
How, can I roll, |
|
When my wheels won't go. |
|
|
|
Well. 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. |
|
|
|
When I'm long gone, |
|
Don't you make my tombstone, |
|
Outta number nine coal, |
|
Outta number nine coal. |
