jerry reed - sixteen tons lyrics
son yeah now some people say a man is made outta mud
a poor man’s made outta muscle and blood
muscle and blood and skin and bone
a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong
you load sixteen tons what do you get
another day older and deeper in debt
st peter don’t call me cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store
i owe my soul i owe my soul to the company store
well i was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
i picked up my shovel i walked to the mine
i loaded sixteen tons of no 9 coal
the store boss said son bless my soul
you load sixteen tons what do you get…
well i was born one morning it was drizzlin’ rain
fighting and trouble that’s my middle name
i was raised in the woods by a mama lion
no hightoned woman make me walk the line
you load sixteen tons what do you get…
if you see me comin’ better step aside
a lotta men didn’t a lotta men died
one fist of iron the other one steel
if the right one don’t get you son the left one will
i load sixteen tons what do you get…
