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

Some people say a man is made out of mud[00:00:09]

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 a weak and a back that's strong[00:00:21]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:26]

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[00:00:42]

I picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine[00:00:45]

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal[00:00:49]

And the straw boss said well a bless my soul[00:00:53]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:57]

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

Saint peter don't you call me cause i can't go[00:01:05]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:09]

I was born one morning it was drizzling rain[00:01:36]

Fighting and trouble are my middle name[00:01:41]

I was raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion[00:01:44]

Ain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:48]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:52]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:56]

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

I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:04]

If you see me coming better step aside[00:02:43]

A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died[00:02:47]

With one fist of iron and the other of steel[00:02:52]

If the right one don't get you then the left one will[00:02:55]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:02:59]

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

Saint peter don't you call me cause i can't go[00:03:07]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:03:11]
