John Prine - Nine Pound Hammer lyrics

This nine pound hammer Is a little too heavy Buddy for my size Buddy for my size So i'm going on the mountain Just to see my baby And i ain't coming back No i ain't coming back Chorus: Roll on buddy Don't you roll so slow Well, tell me how can i roll When the wheels won't go Roll on buddy Pull you load of coal Tell me how can i pull When the wheels won'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 Repeat chorus:
