Sixteen Tons - Bo Diddley[00:00:01]
People say a man is made outta mud[00:00:08]
Poor man made outta 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[00:00:21]
You load sixteen tons what do you get [00:00:25]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:30]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:34]
Owe my soul to the company store[00:00:39]
I was born one morning[00:00:50]
When the sun didn't shine[00:00:55]
I picked up my shovel and I started to the mine[00:00:58]
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal[00:01:02]
The straw boss said "Well now bless his soul"[00:01:07]
He loaded sixteen tons and what did he get [00:01:11]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:16]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:20]
Owe my soul to the company store[00:01:26]
You see me coming you better step aside[00:01:36]
A lotta men didn't and a lotta of 'em died[00:01:48]
One fist of iron the other one of steel[00:01:54]
The right one don't get you then the left one will[00:01:58]
You load sixteen tons and what do you get [00:02:02]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:07]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:11]
Owe my soul to the company store[00:02:16]
