Lyrics
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
