Verse 1:
N.C
This nine pound hammer
N.C
Is a little too heavy for my size
N.C
Buddy for my size
                 Em
I'm going on the mountain
             Am
Gonna see my baby

And I ain't coming back

No, I ain't coming back

Chorus:
E
Roll on buddy
                  A
Don't you roll so slow
          B
How can I roll
                      E
When the wheels won't go

Roll on buddy
               A
Pull a load of coal

How can I pull

When the wheels won't roll
