lorne greene - nine pound hammer lyrics

[intro]
now, just picture yourself
driving four inch spikes into hard black coal
deep down under a mountain
the top of the mine is so low you can’t straighten your back
and the air is so heavy with dust, you can hardly breathe
well out east kentucky round harlan and perry county
coalminers sing a little song called ‘nine pound hammer’

[verse 1]
this nine pound hammer
is a little too heavy
for my size, ah honey, for my size
well i’m going on a mountain
i’m going see my baby
but i ain’t comin’ back, no sir, never
ain’t comin’ back

[chorus]
ah well, roll on buddy (roll on buddy)
don’t you roll so slow (don’t you roll so slow)
how can i roll (roll, roll)
when the wheels won’t roll (when the wheels won’t roll)
roll on buddy (roll on buddy)
pull a load of coal (pull a load of coal)
how can i pull (how can i pull)
when the wheels won’t roll (when the wheels won’t roll)
[verse 2]
it’s a long way to harlan
it’s a long way to hazard
just to get a little brеw, just to get a little brew
whеn i’m long gone
you can make my tombstone out of number nine coal
outta number nine coal

[outro[
roll on buddy (roll on buddy)
don’t you roll so slow (don’t you roll so slow)
how can i roll (roll, roll, roll)
when the wheels won’t go (when the wheels won’t go)
well, roll on buddy (roll on buddy)
pull a load of coal (pull a load of coal)
how can i pull (how can i pull)
when the wheels won’t roll (when the wheels won’t roll)
when the wheels won’t roll
when the wheels won’t roll
when the wheels won’t roll
(ba, ba, ba)
