This nine pound hammer
                F7
Is a little too heavy
             C         G
Buddy for my size size size
             C
Buddy for my size
C
So I'm going on the mountain
               F7
Just to see my baby
                   C       G
And I ain't coming back
                  C
No I ain't coming back
 
 
 
Chorus:
C
Roll on buddy
                  F7
Don't you roll so slow
                        C         G
Well, tell me how can I roll roll roll
                      C
When the wheels won't go
        C
Roll on buddy
                 F7
Pull you load of coal
                  C      G
Tell me how can I pull
                      C
When the wheels won't roll
 
 
C
It's a long way to Harlan
                   F7
It's a long way to Hazard
                     C         G
Just to get a little brew brew brew
                     C
Just to get a little brew
 
 
C
And when I die
                F7
You can make my tombstone
                   C       G
Out of number nine coal
                   G
Out of number nine coal
 
 
(Repeat Chorus)
