Sixteen Tons |
Some people say a man’s made outta mud a poor man’s made outta muscle and blood |
Muscle and blood and skin and bones a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong |
You load sixteen tons what do you get just another day older deeper and debt |
St Peter don’t you call me I cause 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 a shovel walked out to the mine |
I loaded sixteen tons of No 9 coal and the storeboss said well bless my soul |
You load sixteen tons… |
I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain |
A figtin' and trouble that’s my middle name |
I was risin' the cane raiped by that ol' mom of mine |
Ain’t no hightoned woman makes me walk the line |
You load sixteen tons… |
Well if you see me comin' you better step aside a lotta men didn’t a lotta men |
died |
One fist is iron the other one’s steel |
If the right one don’t get you then the left one will |
You load sixteen tons… |
