Sixteen Tons lyrics
Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons and 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 when the sun didn't shine
I became a man who would work in the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
Th foreman said well a bless my soul
I was born in drizzling rain
Finding trouble was my middle name
When I come around you better step aside
A lot of men didn't and alot of men died
Yes they did
You load sixteen tons and 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
Yeah sing one time with me
Sixteen tons and 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
Everybody hum it on me
