16 Tons - Tom Lardner/Allfreedom

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 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

Shh

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

I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

Loaded 16 tons of number nine coal

And the straw boss said Well a-bless my soul

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

Yeah

I was born one morning it was drizzling rain

A-fighting and trouble are my middle name

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

Ain't no boss man live make me walk the line

I 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

So 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

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 damn soul

To the company store

16 tons

Yeah 16 tons

Shh 16 tons

Yeah 16 tons

Shh 16 tons

Shh 16 tons

Yeah 16 tons

Yeah 16 tons
