Roll On Away Coal Train (Larry W. Jones 08/05/2007) (song#4802)

Well, I pound a nine pound hammer
That's a little too heavy for my size
Yeah, I pound a nine pound hammer
That's a little too heavy for my size
Wish I could go down in the valley
And be with my baby til sunrise

Roll on away coal train
Roll on away from here
Roll on away coal train
And take away my cares
Take your load of number nine coal
And let me see your big wheels roll
Roll on away coal train
Roll on away from here

Well, it's a long way from Leavenworth
To home sweet home I'll never see
This nine pound hammer that pounds the earth
Is gonna be the end of me

- instrumental -

Well, this nine pound hammer that I own
Is gonna take a mighty toll
And you can carve this on my headstone
He died poundin' that lignite coal

Roll on away coal train
Roll on away from here
Roll on away coal train
And take away my cares
Take your load of number nine coal
And let me see your big wheels roll
Roll on away coal train
Roll on away from here

Thanks BarnaBus Rox. Train songs are at the top of my favorites too.
I'm curious as to what your IMO means. Here's a list:

Idiopathic Massive Osteolysis (Gorham's Disease)
In my opinion – Internet slang
Institute for Marketecology
Intermediate Mathematical Olympiad, a challenge for students aged 11-16 organised by the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust
International Maritime Organization
International Mathematical Olympiad
International Meteor Organization
International Meteorological Organization
International money order
Independent Market Operator of Ontario, Canada
Irish Medical Organisation (a labor union)
Instituto de la Mujer Oaxaqueña
Irongate Mail Order and industrial electronics company founded by Maurice Hatter based in London, UK
In Memory Of
IMO Independent Mobile
The word ‘Imo', of which only the first letter is capital, may also refer to:
Imo State, Nigeria
The World War I-era Belgian-Relief ship Imo involved in a collision with the French munitions ship Mont Blanc in Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada, the result of which caused the Halifax Explosion.
A Japanese language slur equivalent to "country bumpkin" (Lit. Potato)

Actually, I kinda like the Japanese slur "Country Bumpkin".

In my opinion – Internet slang :lol:

Like mum used to say when in Rome ...

I still don't know what that really means

As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
