| Some people say a man is made outta mud | |
| A poor man's made outta muscle and blood | |
| Muscle and blood and skin and bones | |
| A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong | |
| You load sixteen tons, what do you get? | |
| Another day older and deeper in debt | |
| Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go | |
| I owe my soul to the company store | |
| I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine | |
| I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine | |
| I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal | |
| And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul" | |
| You load sixteen tons, what do you get? | |
| Another day older and deeper in debt | |
| Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go | |
| I owe my soul to the company store | |
| I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain | |
| Fightin' and trouble are my middle name | |
| I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol' mama lion | |
| Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line | |
| You load sixteen tons, what do you get? | |
| Another day older and deeper in debt | |
| Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go | |
| I owe my soul to the company store | |
| If you see me comin', better step aside | |
| A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died | |
| One fist of iron, the other of steel | |
| If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will | |
| You load sixteen tons, what do you get? | |
| Another day older and deeper in debt | |
| Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go | |
| I owe my soul to the company store |
| Some people say a man is made outta mud | |
| A poor man' s made outta muscle and blood | |
| Muscle and blood and skin and bones | |
| A mind that' s aweak and a back that' s strong | |
| You load sixteen tons, what do you get? | |
| Another day older and deeper in debt | |
| Saint Peter don' t you call me ' cause I can' t go | |
| I owe my soul to the company store | |
| I was born one mornin' when the sun didn' t shine | |
| I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine | |
| I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal | |
| And the straw boss said " Well, abless my soul" | |
| You load sixteen tons, what do you get? | |
| Another day older and deeper in debt | |
| Saint Peter don' t you call me ' cause I can' t go | |
| I owe my soul to the company store | |
| I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain | |
| Fightin' and trouble are my middle name | |
| I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion | |
| Cain' t noa hightoned woman make me walk the line | |
