作曲：Merle Travis

This nine pound hammer

Is a little too heavy for my size

Buddy for my size

I'm going on the mountain

Gonna see my baby

And I ain't coming back

No I ain't coming back

Roll on buddy

Don't you roll so slow

How can I roll

When the wheels won't go

Roll on buddy

Pull a load of coal

How can I pull

When the wheels won't roll

This nine pound hammer

Is a little too heavy for my size

Buddy for my size

I'm going on the mountain

Gonna see my baby

And I ain't coming back

No I ain't coming back

Roll on buddy

Don't you roll so slow

How can I roll

When the wheels won't go

Roll on buddy

Pull a load of coal

How can I pull

When the wheels won't roll

Now when I'm long gone

You can make my tombstone

Out of number nine coal

Out of number nine coal

Roll on buddy

Don't you roll so slow

How can I roll

When the wheels won't go

Roll on buddy

Pull a load of coal

How can I pull

When the wheels won't roll

Now when I'm long gone

You can make my tombstone

Out of number nine coal

Out of number nine coal
