Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - The Comptones[00:00:00]

Some people say a man is made out of mud[00:00:04]

A poor man's made out of muscle and blood[00:00:09]

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[00:00:26]

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[00:00:43]

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal[00:00:46]

And the straw boss said Well a-bless my soul[00:00:50]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:53]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:57]

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:00]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:03]

I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:13]

Fightin' and trouble are my middle name[00:01:18]

Raised in the Canebrake by an old mama lion[00:01:21]

Ain't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:24]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:28]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:31]

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:34]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:38]

If you see me comin' better step aside[00:01:47]

A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died[00:01:52]

With one fist of iron and the other of steel[00:01:56]

If the right one don't get you then the left one will[00:01:58]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:02:02]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:05]

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:09]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:14]
