[Verse 1]
                G
This nine pound hammer
                C7
Is a little too heavy
             G         D7
Buddy for my size size size
             G
Buddy for my size
                    G
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
                  C7
Don't you roll so slow

Well, tell me how can I roll roll roll
                      G
When the wheels won't go
        G
Roll on buddy
                 C7
Pull you load of coal
                  G    D7
Tell me how can I pull

When the wheels won't roll

                   C7
It's a long way to Hazard
                     G         D7
Just to get a little brew brew brew
                     G
Just to get a little brew
           G
And when I die
                C7  
You can make my tombstone
                   G    D7
Out of number nine coal
                   G
Out of number nine coal

Pull you load of coal
