Well this nine pound hammer. it’s a little too heavy,
Yes for my size, buddy for my size.

(Chorus)

Well roll on buddy, Don’t you roll so slow,
How can I roll, when my wheels won’t roll?

I went up into the mountain just to see my honey,
And I ain’t coming back, Lord I ain’t coming back.

(Chorus)

It’s a long way to Harlen, and a long way to Hazard,
Just to get a little brew, just to get a little brew.

(Chorus)

Well an eight pound hammer that’s in this tunnel,
Got a ring like mine, got a ring like mine.

Chorus

I’m going down the mountain, now to see my baby,
And I ain’t coming back, No, I ain’t coming back.

Well roll on buddy, Roll a load of coal,
How can I pull, when my wheels won’t roll?

Well the nine pound hammer, it’s a little too heavy,
Yes for my size, honey for my size.

Chorus
