Sixteen Tons - Frankie laine

Some people say a man is made out of mud

A poor man's made out of muscle and blood

Muscle and blood and skin and bones

A mind that's 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

Well I was born one mornin` it was drizzlin` rain

Fightin` an` trouble are my middle name

I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion

Can`t no high-toned woman makes me walk the line

You load sixteen tons an` what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

St Peter don`t you call me cause I can`t go:

I owe my soul to the company store

Well if you see me comin` 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 get you then the left one will

You load sixteen tons an` what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

St Peter don`t you call me cause I can`t go:

I owe my soul to the company store
