Sixteen Tons - Red Sovine
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 9 coal
And the store 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
