I posted them because they were raised by Frank in his posting above and I thought there may be some interest in them.

They are unrelated to 'Nine Pound Hammer' except for the 'roll on' motif. As you say, in structure and content, they closely resemble 'Mole in the ground' - and, in style, also banjo songs like 'New River Train', 'My Last Old Dollar Is Gone' etc.
