Sixteen Tons - Dick Nolan[00:00:00]

Lyrics by：Merle Travis[00:00:03]

Composed by：Merle Travis[00:00:06]

Some people say a man is made out of mud[00:00:10]

A poor man's made out of muscle and blood[00:00:14]

Muscle and blood and skin and bones[00:00:18]

A mind that's weak and a back that's strong[00:00:22]

You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:00:25]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:29]

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

I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:37]

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine[00:00:50]

I picked up my shovel walked out to the mine[00:00:55]

I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal[00:00:58]

The straw boss said[00:01:03]

Well-a bless my soul[00:01:05]

You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:01:06]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:11]

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:14]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:19]

I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:32]

Fightin' and trouble that's my middle name[00:01:37]

I was raised in the cane[00:01:40]

Break by an old mama lion[00:01:42]

Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:44]

You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:01:48]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:52]

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:56]

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

Now if you see me comin' better step aside[00:02:14]

A lot of men didn't a lot of men died[00:02:18]

One fist of iron the other of steel[00:02:22]

If the right one don't getcha then the left one will[00:02:26]

You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:02:30]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:34]

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:37]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:42]
