Sixteen Tons - Rod McKuen[00:00:00]

Written by：DR[00:00:01]

Some people say a man is made out of mud[00:00:07]

A poor man's made out of muscle and blood[00:00:12]

Muscle and blood and skin and bones[00:00:16]

A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong[00:00:19]

You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:00:23]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:27]

Saint peter don't you call me' cause I can't go[00:00:30]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:34]

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine[00:00:46]

I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine[00:00:51]

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal[00:00:55]

And the straw boss said bless my soul[00:00:59]

You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:01:02]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:06]

Saint peter don't you call me' cause I can't go[00:01:10]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:14]

I was born one morning it was drizzling rain[00:01:25]

Fighting and trouble are my middle name[00:01:30]

I was raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion[00:01:34]

Ain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:37]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:41]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:45]

And saint peter don't you call me I won't go[00:01:49]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:53]

If you see me coming better step aside[00:02:05]

A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died[00:02:10]

I got one fist of iron and the other of steel[00:02:13]

If the right one don't[00:02:17]

Get you then the left one will[00:02:18]

You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:02:21]

Another day older but deeper in debt[00:02:25]

Now saint peter don't you call me' cause I can't go[00:02:29]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:33]
