[Intro]
This nine pound hammer, just a little too heavy
Buddy for my size, buddy for my size
So roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won't go

[Break]
Ain't nobody's hammer on this mountain
Ring like mine, Lord, ring like mine
So roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
Buddy how can I roll when the wheels won't go

I went to the mountain just to see my baby
Ain't a comin' back, Lord, ain't a comin' back
So roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
Buddy how can I roll when the wheels won't go

[Break]
It's a long way to Hazard, it's a long way to Harlan
Just to get a little brew, just to get a little brew
So roll on buddy, don't you roll so slow
How can I roll when the wheels won't go

[Repeat 1st verse]
