Sixteen Tons
Some people say, a man is made outta mud A poor man's made outta muscle and blood Muscle and blood, and skin and bones A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one morning, when the sun didn't shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal And the straw boss said, 'Well, a-bless my soul'
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one morning, it was drizzling rain Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Fighting and trouble are my middle name I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion Can't no-a high-toned woman, make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me coming, better step aside A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died One fist of iron, the other of steel If the right one don't a-get you then the left one will
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store
