Sixteen Tons

[00:00.79] Some people say a man is made outta mud
[00:06.24] A poor man´s made outta muscle and blood
[00:10.30] Muscle and blood and skin and bones
[00:14.21] A mind that´s a-weak and a back that´s strong
[00:18.39] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[00:22.31] Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:26.12] Saint Peter don´t you call me ´cause I can´t go
[00:30.20] I owe my soul to the company store
[00:35.93] I was born one mornin´ when the sun didn´t shine
[00:42.15] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
[00:45.60] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
[00:49.82] And the straw boss said ´Well, a-bless my soul´
[00:53.42] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[00:57.55] Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:01.62] Saint Peter don´t you call me ´cause I can´t go
[01:05.36] I owe my soul to the company store
[01:11.00] I was born one mornin´, it was drizzlin´ rain
[01:17.49] Fightin´ and trouble are my middle name
[01:18.25] I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol´ mama lion
[01:18.98] Cain´t no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
[01:20.29] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[01:21.85] Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:22.44] Saint Peter don´t you call me ´cause I can´t go
[01:23.44] I owe my soul to the company store
[01:24.14] If you see me comin´, better step aside
[01:25.04] A lotta men didn´t, a lotta men died
[01:25.88] One fist of iron, the other of steel
[01:27.04] If the right one don´t a-get you, then the left one will
[01:29.11] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[01:32.97] Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:36.52] Saint Peter don´t you call me ´cause I can´t go
[01:40.52] I owe my soul to the company store
