Sixteen Tons - Merle Travis[00:00:01]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:03]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:06]
Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:09]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:12]
Some people say a man is made outta mud[00:00:52]
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood[00:00:55]
Muscle and blood and skin and bones[00:00:58]
A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong[00:01:01]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:04]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:07]
Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:09]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:12]
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine[00:01:18]
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine[00:01:21]
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal[00:01:24]
And the straw boss said well a bless my soul[00:01:26]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:29]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:33]
Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:35]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:39]
I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:47]
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name[00:01:50]
I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol' mama lion[00:01:53]
Cain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:56]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:58]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:01]
Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:04]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:07]
If you see me comin' better step aside[00:02:21]
A lotta men didn't a lotta men died[00:02:24]
One fist of iron the other of steel[00:02:27]
If the right one don't a get you then the left one will[00:02:30]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:02:33]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:36]
Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:39]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:42]
