[G]This nine pound hammer

[G]Roll on buddy
Don't you roll so [C7]slow
Well, tell me how can I [G]roll roll [D]roll
When the wheels won't [G]go
Roll on [G]buddy
Pull you load of [C7]coal
Tell me how can I [G]pull[D]
When the wheels won't [G]roll

It's a long way to [C7]Hazard

You can make my [C7]tombstone
Out of number nine [G]coal[D]
Out of number nine [D]coal
