E
This nine pound hammer
A
Is a little too heavy
E
It’s for my size
B7 E
Honey, for my size
[Refrão] E
Oh buddy
A
Don't you roll so slow
E
Baby, how can I roll
B7 E
When the wheels won't go
I'm going on a mountain
Gonna see my baby
But I ain't coming back
Lord I ain't coming back
Chorus
It’s a long way to Hazzard
And a long way to Harlen
Just to get a little brew
Just to get a little brew
Chorus
Now when I’m long gone
You can make my tombstone
Out of number 9 coal
Out of number nine coal
Chorus
Repeat 1st verse
Chorus
