Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Kate Smith/Bill Stegmeyer And His Orchestra[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[00:00:13]

A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong[00:00:16]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:19]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:23]

Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:26]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:29]

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine[00:00:37]

I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine[00:00:42]

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal[00:00:45]

And the straw boss said well a-bless my soul[00:00:48]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:51]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:55]

Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:58]

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

I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:10]

Fightin' and trouble are my middle name[00:01:15]

I've raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion[00:01:18]

Ain't no a high-toned woman make me walk no line[00:01:21]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:24]

Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:28]

Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:31]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:34]

If you see me coming better step aside[00:01:43]

A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died[00:01:47]

With one fist of iron and the other of steel[00:01:51]

If the right one don't get you then the left one will[00:01:53]

You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:56]

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

Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:03]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:08]
