Some people say a man is made out of mud |
[00:09.300] |
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood |
[00:12.500] |
Muscle and blood and skin and bones |
[00:16.150] |
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong |
[00:19.350] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get |
[00:23.000] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
[00:25.600] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
[00:29.750] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
[00:38.480] |
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine |
[00:42.680] |
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine |
[00:45.880] |
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal |
[00:48.980] |
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul" |
[00:52.630] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get |
[00:55.780] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
[00:58.330] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
[01:01.930] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
[01:11.400] |
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain |
[01:15.050] |
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name |
[01:19.300] |
Raised in the Canebrake by an old mama lion |
[01:21.960] |
Ain't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line |
[01:25.510] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get |
[01:28.810] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
[01:31.460] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
[01:35.060] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
[01:44.930] |
If you see me comin', better step aside |
[01:49.190] |
A lot of men didn't, and a lot of men died |
[01:52.170] |
With one fist of iron, and the other of steel |
[01:55.790] |
If the right one don't get you then the left one will |
[01:58.890] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get |
[02:02.540] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
[02:05.190] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
[02:12.390] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
