[Spoken: Good evening and welcome to Fair Oaks.
Tonight is the first night of ah,
Of four nights of fine music,
With these people right here.
The Shire Road Pub is proud to bring you
The Beau Brummels.]
This nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
For my size
For my size
I'm going on a mountain
Going up there to see my baby
And I don't think be back, no, no
Not coming back this way
Roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I roll
My wheels don't go
I roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I roll
My wheels won't roll
It's a long way to Harlem
And it's a long way to Salem
Just to get a little brew
Just to get a little brew
When I die...
I want my tombstone
Made of number nine coal, yeah
Make it a number nine coal
Why don't you roll on buddy
They pull a load of coal
Ah, how can I roll, sir
My wheels,
They, they, they, they, they, they
They don't go
Roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I roll
My wheels, they don't go
Now this nine pound hammer
Is a little too heavy
Ah, for my size
For my size
I'm going on a mountain
Going to see my baby
And I don't think I be back, no, no
I'm not coming back this way
Roll on buddy
C'mon, pull a load of coal
Ah, how can I roll, sir
Can't you see that my wheels
They won't roll
You roll on buddy
Pull a load of coal
How can I roll
My wheels won't go
It's a nine pound hammer
[Clapping]
[Spoken: Thank you, thank you a lot.]
