Sixteen Tons - frankie laine[00:00:00]
Some people say a man is made of a mud[00:00:07]
A poor man's made of muscie and blood[00:00:11]
Muscle and blood and skin and bones[00:00:15]
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong[00:00:19]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:22]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:26]
Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go[00:00:29]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:33]
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine[00:00:44]
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine[00:00:48]
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal[00:00:52]
And the straw boss said well bless my soul[00:00:56]
You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:00:59]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:03]
Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go[00:01:07]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:11]
I was born one morning it was drizzling rain[00:01:21]
Fighting and trouble are my middle name[00:01:26]
I was raised in cane-brake by an old mamma lion[00:01:29]
Can't no high toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:32]
You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:01:36]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:41]
Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go[00:01:44]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:48]
If you see me coming better step aside[00:01:59]
A lotta men didn't and a lotta men died[00:02:03]
One fist of iron the other of steel[00:02:07]
If the right one don't get you then the left one will [00:02:10]
You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:02:14]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:18]
Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go[00:02:21]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:27]
