16 Tons

In the style of

Robbie Williams

Lyrics

some people say a man
is made outta mud

a poor man's made
outta muscle an' blood

a muscle an' blood
an' skin an' bones

a mind that's weak
and a back that's strong

you loaded sixteen tons
an' what do you get?

another day older an'
deeper in debt

saint peter don't you call me
'cos i can't go

i owe my soul
to the company store

i was born one mornin'
when the sun didn't shine

picked up the shovel
and i walked to the mine

i loaded sixteen tons
of number nine coal

and the strawboss said
well bless my soul

you loaded sixteen tons
an' what do you get?

another day older an'
deeper in debt

saint peter don't you call me
'cos i can't go

i owe my soul
to the company store

i was born one morning
it was drizzlin' rain

fightin' and trouble are
my middle names

raised in the canebrake
by an' ol' mama lion

can't no high-tone woman
make me walk the line

you loaded sixteen tons
an' what do you get?

another day older an'
deeper in debt

saint peter don't you call me
'cos 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 getcha
then the left one will

you loaded sixteen tons
an' what do you get?

another day older an'
deeper in debt

saint peter don't you call me
'cos i can't go

i owe my soul
to the company store
