Sixteen Tons

[00:52.58] Some people say a man is made outta mud
[00:55.34] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
[00:58.59] Muscle and blood and skin and bones
[01:01.32] A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
[01:03.84] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[01:07.18] Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:09.75] Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
[01:13.13] I owe my soul to the company store
[01:18.33] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
[01:21.68] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
[01:24.25] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
[01:27.25] And the straw boss said: "Well, a-bless my soul!"
[01:29.87] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[01:33.22] Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:35.91] Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
[01:39.01] I owe my soul to the company store
[01:44.28]
[01:47.64] I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
[01:50.76] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
[01:53.42] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
[01:55.42] Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
[01:59.13] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[02:02.41] Another day older and deeper in debt
[02:05.17] Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
[02:08.63] I owe my soul to the company store
[02:13.00]
[02:22.33] If you see me comin', better step aside
[02:25.53] A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
[02:28.38] One fist of iron, the other of steel
[02:31.05] If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will
[02:33.89] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[02:36.94] Another day older and deeper in debt
[02:39.89] Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
[02:43.37] I owe my soul to the company store
