This nine pound hammer   Is a little too heavy for my size   Buddy for my size.      I'm going on the mountain   Gonna see my baby   And I ain't coming back   No, I ain't coming back.      Chorus:   Roll on buddy   Don't you roll so slow   How can I roll   When the wheels won't go.      Roll on buddy   Pull a load of coal   How can I pull   When the wheels won't roll.      This nine pound hammer   Is a little too heavy for my size   Buddy for my size.      I'm going on the mountain   Gonna see my baby   And I ain't coming back   No, I ain't coming back.      Chorus:   Roll on buddy   Don't you roll so slow   How can I roll   When the wheels won't go.      Roll on buddy   Pull a load of coal   How can I pull   When the wheels won't roll..      And when I'm long gone   You can make my tombstone   Out of number nine coal   Out of number nine coal.      Chorus:   Roll on buddy   Don't you roll so slow   How can I roll   When the wheels won't go.      Roll on buddy   Pull a load of coal   How can I pull   When the wheels won't roll.      Now, when I'm long gone   You can make my tombstone   Out of number nine coal   Out of number nine coal...
