Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Country Music Collective[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"[00:00:50]
You load sixteen tons, what do you get[00:00:53]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:57]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:00]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:03]
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:13]
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name[00:01:17]
I was raised in the canebrake by an on mama lion[00:01:21]
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:24]
You load sixteen tons, what do you get[00:01:27]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:31]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:34]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:38]
If you see me comin', better step aside[00:01:47]
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died[00:01:52]
One fist of iron, the other of steel[00:01:55]
If the right one don't a-get you[00:01:58]
Then the left one will[00:02:00]
You load sixteen tons, what do you get[00:02:02]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:05]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:09]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:14]
