Sixteen Tons - Big Bill Broonzy/The Monitors[00:00:00]
Written by:Merle Travis[00:00:01]
Some people says the man's made out of mud[00:00:16]
Man's made out of flash and blood[00:00:20]
Flash and blood and skin and bone[00:00:23]
A mind that's week and a back that's strong[00:00:26]
You load sixteen tons so what do you get[00:00:29]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:32]
So St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:35]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:38]
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine[00:00:45]
Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine[00:00:48]
I loaded sixteen ton of number nine coal[00:00:51]
The straw boss said god dog your soul[00:00:54]
You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:00:57]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:00]
So St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:03]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:07]
I was born one mornin' when it was drizzle in rain[00:01:12]
Fightin' and shootin' is my middle name[00:01:16]
I was born in a canebreak raised by my ol' mama hound[00:01:18]
No high tone mama can make me change my mind[00:01:22]
I load sixteen tons so what do you get[00:01:25]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:28]
So St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:31]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:35]
You see me comin' you better step aside[00:01:41]
A lot of people didn't and a whole lot of them died[00:01:45]
One fist of iron and one of steal[00:01:47]
The right one don't get you boy[00:01:51]
The left one will[00:01:53]
So load sixteen ton what do you get[00:01:54]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:57]
So St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:00]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:06]
