trade martin - sixteen tons lyrics
some people say a man is made outta mud
a poor man’s made outta muscle and blood
muscle and blood, and skin and bones
a mind that’s a weak and a back that’s strong
[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint peter don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store
i was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
i loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
and the straw boss said “well, a+bless my soul”
[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint petеr don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to thе company store
if you see me comin’, better step aside
a lotta men didn’t, a lotta men died
i got one fist of iron, the other of steel
if the right one don’t a+get you, then the left one will
[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint peter don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store
