Lyrics

Roll on,buddy Don't you roll so slow How can I roll When the whrrls won't go This nine pound hammer Is a little too heavy For my size Honey, for my size I'm going on the mountain Going to see my baby And I ain't coming back Well, I ain't coming back Roll on buddy Don't you roll so 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 don't roll 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 And when I'm long gone You can make my tombstone Out of number nine coal Out of number nine coal Roll on buddy Don't you roll so 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 This nine pound hammer Is a little too heavy For my size Honey, for my size I'm going on the mountain Going to see my baby And I ain't coming back No, I ain't coming back
