Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - The Platters

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 mornin' 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 kiss my soul

You load sixteen tons that what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Now saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

Now fightin' and trouble it's my middle name

I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

Cain'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

Now saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul

I owe my soul to the company store
