Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Tennessee Ernie Ford[00:00:00]

Some people say a man is made outta mud[00:00:05]

A poor man's made outta 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[00:00:19]

What do you get[00:00:21]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:23]

Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:26]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:30]

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'[00:00:49]

You load sixteen tons[00:00:52]

What do you get[00:00:55]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:56]

Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:59]

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

I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:11]

Fightin' and trouble are my middle name[00:01:16]

I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion[00:01:19]

Cain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:22]

You load sixteen tons[00:01:26]

What do you get[00:01:28]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:30]

Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:33]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:36]

If you see me comin' better step aside[00:01:46]

A lotta men didn't[00:01:51]

A lotta men died[00:01:52]

One fist of iron[00:01:54]

The other of steel[00:01:55]

If the right one don't a get you then the[00:01:57]

Left one will[00:01:59]

You load sixteen tons[00:02:00]

What do you get[00:02:02]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:04]

Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:07]

I owe my soul[00:02:13]

To the company store[00:02:24]
