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
