This Nine Pound Hammer,
Is a little too heavy,
For my side, baby for my side.
I'm a-goin' to the mountain,
Gonna see my baby.
But i ain't comin' back,
No. I ain't comin' back.
Roll on, buddy,
Don't ya roll so slow.
How, can I roll,
When my wheels won't go.
Well. it's a long way to Harlan,
It's a long way to Hazard,
Just to get a little brew,
Just to get a little brew.
When I'm long gone,
Don't you make my tombstone,
Outta number nine coal,
Outta number nine coal.Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts.
A spirit came to me and said: You gotta move to start
You gotta take the first step
You gotta grow to be tall
And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget.
You got love to burn.
You better take your chance on love.
You got to let your guard down
You better take a chance,
A chance on love.
Take chance on love
On love.
In the valley of hearts there's a house full of broken windows
And the lovers inside just quarrel all the time
Why'd you ruin my life?
Where you takin' my kid?
And they hold each other saying: How did it come to this?
You got love to burn.
You better take your chance on love.
You got to let your guard down
You better take a chance,
A chance on love.
Take chance on love
On love.
Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts.
A spirit came to me and said: You gotta move to start
You gotta take the first step
You gotta grow to be tall
And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget.
