Sixteen Tons - Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 weak and a back that's strong
[Chorus]
You load sixteen tons, Read More >>

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
[Verse 2]
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, oh, well, bless my soul
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
I was born one morning, it was drizzling rain
Fighting and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the cane break by an old mama lion
Can't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
Hey, if you see me coming, better step aside
A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't get you, then the left one will
[Chorus]
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
