[Intro]
How can I roll?
[Verse 1]
This Nine Pound Hammer
It's a little too heavy
For my size
Well, for my size
I'm goin' on the mountain
Gonna see my baby
But I ain't comin' back
Well, I ain't comin' back
[Chorus]
Roll on, buddy (Roll on, buddy)
Don't you roll so slow (Don't you roll so slow)
Just how can I roll (How can I roll)
When the wheels won't go?
Roll on, buddy (Roll on, buddy)
Pull your load of coal (Pull your load of coal)
How can I pull (How can I pull)
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 brew
Just to get a little brew
Now, when I'm long gone
You can make my tombstone
Out of number nine coal
Out of number nine coal
[Chorus]
Roll on, buddy (Roll on, buddy)
Don't you roll so slow (Don't you roll so slow)
Just how can I roll (How can I roll)
When the wheels won't go?
Roll on, buddy (Roll on, buddy)
Pull your load of coal (Pull your load of coal)
Just how can I pull (How can I pull)
When the wheels won't roll?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Roll on, buddy (Roll on, buddy)
Don't you roll so slow (Don't you roll so slow)
Just how can I roll (How can I roll)
When the wheels won't go?
Roll on, buddy (Roll on, buddy)
Pull your load of coal (Pull your load of coal)
How can I pull (How can I pull)
When the wheels won't roll?
Just how can I pull (How can I pull)
When the wheels won't roll?
