Roll on buddy

ROLL ON BUDDY

I'm going on the mountain
for to see my baby
Lord I ain't comin back
I ain't comin back

It's a Long way to Harlan
A Long way to hazard
Just to get a little brew
just to get a little brew

Roll on buddy
With a load coal
How can I pull
When wheels won't roll

————————————-

The 9 pound hammer
It's a just a little too heavy
Buddy for my size
Buddy for my size

That 9 pound hammer
Killed poor john henry
Lord it won't kill me
It won’t kill me

Roll on buddy
With a load coal
How can I pull
When wheels won't roll

You can take my hammer
And give it to the captain
you can tell him I'm gone
You can tell him I'm gone

And if he ask you
Where I done gone to
Tell him you don't know
buddy, you don't know

Roll on buddy
And make your time
I done broke down
And he can't make mine

I'm going on the mountain
for to see my baby
Lord I ain't comin back
I ain't comin back

Roll on buddy
And make your time
I done broke down
And he can't make mine
