Sixteen Tons - Geoff Castellucci

Lyrics by：Merle Travis

Composed by：Merle Travis

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

You've got a mind that's weak and a back that's strong

You load 16 tons and 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

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

Saint Peter don't you call me but to the company store

Saint Peter but don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store c'mon

Well I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

I loaded 16 tons of number nine coal

And the straw boss said well-a bless my soul

You load 16 tons and 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 yeah

I was born one morning in the drizzlin' rain

The fightin' and trouble have been my middle name

I was raised in the cane brake by an old mama lion

Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line

Yeah 16 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 owe my soul

If you see me comin' better step aside

A lot of men didn't a lot of men died

One fist of iron and the other of steel

If the left one don't getcha then the right one will

You load

16 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

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

Saint Peter don't you call me but to the company store

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul

To the company store

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
