Sixteen Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford

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-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 mornin',

it was drizzlin' rain

Fightin' and trouble

are 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

Saint Peter don't you

call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul

to the company store

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 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
