Sixteen Tons - Oscar Brown Jr.[00:00:00]
Written by:Travis[00:00:02]
Some people say a man is made out of mud[00:00:06]
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood[00:00:10]
Muscle and blood and skin and bones[00:00:13]
A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong[00:00:16]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:19]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:22]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:25]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:29]
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine[00:00:38]
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine[00:00:42]
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal[00:00:45]
And the straw boss said well a bless my soul[00:00:48]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:51]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:55]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:58]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:01]
I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:11]
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name[00:01:14]
Raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion[00:01:17]
Ain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:20]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:24]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:27]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:30]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:34]
If you see me comin' better step aside[00:01:43]
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died[00:01:47]
With one fist of iron and the other of steel[00:01:50]
If the right one don't get you then the left one will[00:01:53]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:56]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:00]
Saint Peter don't call I can't go[00:02:03]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:06]
