Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Eddy Arnold[00:00:00]

Written by：Merle Travis[00:00:02]

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

A poor man's made outta muscle and blood[00:00:09]

Muscle and blood and skin and bone[00:00:13]

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

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:18]

Another day older and deeper and debt[00:00:22]

St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:25]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:28]

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine[00:00:36]

I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine[00:00:41]

Loaded sixteen tons of No 9 coal[00:00:43]

And the storeboss said well bless my soul[00:00:47]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:50]

Another day older and deeper and debt[00:00:53]

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

I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:59]

I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:07]

Figtin' and trouble are my middle name[00:01:12]

Raisin' the cane break by an old mountain lion[00:01:15]

Ain't no hightoned woman makes me walk the line[00:01:18]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:21]

Another day older and deeper and debt[00:01:25]

St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:27]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:31]

If you see me comin' better step aside[00:01:39]

A lotta men didn't a lotta men died[00:01:44]

One fist of iron the other of steel[00:01:47]

If the right one don't get you then the left one will[00:01:50]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:53]

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

St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:59]

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