Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - The Sheltons[00:00:00]
Some people say a man is made out of mud[00:00:05]
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood[00:00:10]
Muscle and blood and skin and bones[00:00:14]
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong[00:00:17]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:20]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:24]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:27]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:31]
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine[00:00:39]
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine[00:00:44]
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal[00:00:47]
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[00:01:04]
I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:13]
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name[00:01:17]
Raised in the Canebrake by an old mama lion[00:01:20]
Ain't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:24]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:27]
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[00:01:37]
If you see me comin' better step aside[00:01:46]
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died[00:01:51]
With one fist of iron and the other of steel[00:01:55]
If the right one don't get you then the left one will[00:01:58]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:02:01]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:05]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:08]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:13]
