                E 
This nine pound hammer 
                A 
Is a little too heavy 
            E 
It’s for my size 
B7            E 
Honey, for my size 

   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
