Sixteen Tons - Various Artists[00:00:00]
Written by:Merle Travis/Newman/Lebowsky/Travis/Fascinato[00:00:00]
Some people say a man is made outta mud[00:00:04]
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood[00:00:09]
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 mornin' when the sun didn't shine[00:00:38]
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine[00:00:43]
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal[00:00:46]
And the straw boss said well a bless my soul[00:00:49]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:52]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:56]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:59]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:02]
I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:11]
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name[00:01:16]
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion[00:01:19]
Cain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:22]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:26]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:29]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:32]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:36]
If you see me comin' better step aside[00:01:46]
A lotta men didn't a lotta men died[00:01:51]
One fist of iron the other of steel[00:01:54]
If the right one don't a get you then the left one will[00:01:57]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:02:00]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:04]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:07]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:13]
