Lyric Nine pound hammer (Merle Travis)

This nine pound hammer, it s a little too heavy
For my size, honey, for my size
I m goin on the mountain, gonna see my baby
But I ain t comin back, no, I ain t comin back

Chorus
Roll on buddy, don t you roll too 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

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
Well, when I m long gone you can make my tombstone
Outta number nine coal, outta number nine coal
