Sixteen Tons - Edmundo Ros[00:00:00]

Written by：Merle Travi[00:00:00]

Some people say a man[00:00:06]

Is made outta' mud[00:00:08]

A poor man's made[00:00:10]

Outta' muscle and blood[00:00:11]

Muscle and blood and[00:00:13]

Skin and bones[00:00:14]

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

A back that's strong[00:00:17]

You load sixteen tons[00:00:19]

What do you get[00:00:20]

Another day older[00:00:22]

And deeper in debt[00:00:23]

Saint peter don't you[00:00:25]

Call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:26]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:28]

I was born one mornin'[00:00:36]

When the sun didn't shine[00:00:38]

I picked up my shovel and[00:00:40]

I walked to the mine[00:00:41]

I loaded sixteen tons[00:00:42]

Of number 9 coal[00:00:44]

And the store boss said[00:00:45]

Well a bless my soul[00:00:47]

You load sixteen tons[00:00:48]

What do you get[00:00:50]

Another day older and[00:00:52]

Deeper in debt[00:00:53]

Saint peter don't you[00:00:54]

Call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:56]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:57]

I was born one mornin'[00:01:06]

It was drizzlin' rain[00:01:08]

Fightin' and trouble are[00:01:09]

My middle name[00:01:11]

I was raised in the canebrake[00:01:12]

By an ol' mama lion[00:01:14]

Cain't no a high toned[00:01:15]

Woman make me walk the line[00:01:16]

You load sixteen tons[00:01:18]

What do you get[00:01:20]

Another day older and[00:01:21]

Deeper in debt[00:01:23]

Saint peter don't you[00:01:24]

Call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:25]

I owe my soul to the[00:01:27]

Company store[00:01:29]

If you see me comin'[00:01:36]

Better step aside[00:01:37]

A lotta men didn't[00:01:39]

A lotta men died[00:01:40]

One fist of iron the[00:01:42]

Other of steel[00:01:44]

If the right one don't a get[00:01:45]

You then the left one will[00:01:46]

You load sixteen tons[00:01:48]

What do you get[00:01:50]

Another day older and[00:01:51]

Deeper in debt[00:01:52]

Saint peter don't you[00:01:54]

Call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:55]

I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:57]
