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.
