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 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 | |
Ain'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 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 |
