Sixteen Tons - The Platters[00:00:00]

Written by：Merle Travis[00:00:00]

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

A poor man's made outta muscle and blood[00:00:07]

A muscle and blood skin and bones[00:00:11]

A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong[00:00:15]

You load sixteen tons and what do ya 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[00:00:28]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:32]

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine[00:00:39]

I picked up a shovel and walked to the mine[00:00:46]

I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal[00:00:50]

And the store boss said "Well a-bless my soul"[00:00:54]

You load sixteen tons and what do ya get[00:00:58]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:03]

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:07]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:11]

If you see me comin' better step aside[00:01:18]

A lotta men didn't and a lotta men died[00:01:24]

One fist of iron the other of steel[00:01:28]

If the right one don't getcha[00:01:32]

Then the left one will[00:01:34]

You load sixteen tons and what do ya get[00:01:36]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:41]

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:45]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:49]

I was born one mornin' and it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:56]

Fightin' and trouble are my middle name[00:02:02]

I was raised in a canebrake by an old mama lion[00:02:06]

Can't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line[00:02:10]

You load sixteen tons and what do ya get[00:02:15]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:19]

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:23]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:30]
