This nine pound hammer is a little too heavy
For my size honey for my size
Well I'm goin' on the mountain just to see my baby
And I ain't comin' back no well I ain't comin' back
Well oh roll on buddy don't you roll so slow
How can I go when my wheels won't roll
[ ac.guitar ]
Well it's a long way to Harlem it's a long way to Hazzard
Just to get a little brew just to get a little brew
Well now when I'm long gone you can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal out of number nine coal
Well oh roll on buddy pull a load of coal
How can I pull when my wheels won't roll
