This nine pound hammer

                F7
Is a little too heavy

Buddy for my size size size

             C
Buddy for my size

So I'm going on the mountain

               F7
Just to see my baby

                   C       G
And I ain't coming back

                  C
No I ain't coming back

Roll on buddy

Don't you roll so slow

Well, tell me how can I roll roll roll

                      C
When the wheels won't go

Roll on buddy

Pull you load of coal

                  C      G
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 brew brew

                     C
Just to get a little brew

C
And when I die

                F7  
You can make my tombstone

                   C       G
Out of number nine coal

                   G
Out of number nine coal
(Repeat Chorus)
