don harrison band - sixteen tons lyrics
some people say a man,
i made out of mud.
well a poor man’s made outta
muscle and blood.
muscle and blood,
and skin and bone,
you got a mind that’s weak,
you got a back that’s strong.
and i was born one mornin’,
the sun didn’t shine.
picked up my shovel,
and he went to the mine.
i loaded 16 tons,
of that number 9 coal.
the straw boss said boy,
well bless my soul!
[chorus:]
you load 16 tons,
and what do ya get?
another day older,
and deeper in dept.
saint peter don’tcha call me,
’cause i can’t go…
i owe my soul…
[end chorus]
i was born one morning,
it was drizzlin’ rain.
so fighting and trouble
was my middle name.
i was raised in a cave,
by an old mama lion.
ain’t no high toned mama,
gonna me walk the line.
if you see me comin’,
better step aside.
a lot of men didn’t;
a lot of men died.
one fist is iron,
the other is steel,
if the right one don’t get you,
then the left one will.
[repeat chorus]
yeah, i owe it all…
to the company store…
