Verse 1:

G
This nine pound hammer
                       C              G
Is just a little too heavy... for my size
  D            G
Buddy for my size

Chorus:
G                                     C
Roll on, Buddy... don't you roll so slow,
           G    D                     G
How can I roll when the wheels won't go?

Verse 2:
I went upon the mountain
Just to see my honey,
And I ain't coming back
Lord, I ain't coming back

Chorus

Verse 3:
It's a long way to Harlan
It's a long way to Hazard
Just to get a little booze,
Lord, just to get a little booze

Chorus
