Sixteen Tons |

Some people say a man is made outta mud |
| [00:10.37] |
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood |
| [00:13.98] |
Muscle and blood and skin and bones |
| [00:16.98] |
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong |
| [00:20.15] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [00:23.67] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [00:26.87] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [00:30.48] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
| [00:34.26] |

| [00:38.90] |
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine |
| [00:43.55] |
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine |
| [00:46.66] |
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal |
| [00:49.95] |
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul" |
| [00:53.16] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [00:56.83] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [00:59.92] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [01:03.53] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
| [01:08.84] |
|
| [01:12.12] |
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain |
| [01:16.96] |
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name |
| [01:20.10] |
I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol' mama lion |
| [01:23.17] |
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line |
| [01:26.75] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [01:30.26] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [01:33.26] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [01:36.90] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
| [01:41.95] |
|
| [01:46.71] |
If you see me comin', better step aside |
| [01:51.44] |
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died |
| [01:54.85] |
One fist of iron, the other of steel |
| [01:57.95] |
If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will |
| [02:00.99] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [02:04.79] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [02:07.69] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [02:13.93] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
| [02:31.44] |
