Some people say a man is made outta mud |
| [00:13.83] |
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood |
| [00:18.16] |
Muscle and blood and skin and bones |
| [00:21.66] |
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong |
| [00:26.16] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [00:29.89] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [00:33.63] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [00:37.52] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
| [00:41.60] |
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine |
| [00:45.54] |
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine |
| [00:49.12] |
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal |
| [00:52.91] |
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul" |
| [00:57.32] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [01:01.34] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [01:05.18] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [01:08.92] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
| [01:36.17] |
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain |
| [01:40.95] |
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name |
| [01:44.39] |
I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol' mama lion |
| [01:48.39] |
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line |
| [01:52.47] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [01:56.72] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [02:00.20] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [02:03.91] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
| [02:43.74] |
If you see me comin', better step aside |
| [02:47.48] |
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died |
| [02:51.45] |
One fist of iron, the other of steel |
| [02:55.13] |
If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will |
| [02:59.50] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [03:03.10] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [03:06.89] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [03:10.81] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
