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.
