I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine. |
| [00:09.71] |
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine. |
| [00:12.74] |
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal. |
| [00:18.19] |
And the straw boss said (well bless my soul). |
| [00:21.27] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [00:26.72] |
Another day older and deeper in debt. |
| [00:31.02] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go. |
| [00:35.26] |
I sold my soul to the company's store. |
| [00:48.13] |
If you see me coming better step aside. |
| [00:52.23] |
A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died. |
| [00:56.42] |
I've got one fist of iron, the other of steel. |
| [01:00.31] |
And if the right one don't get you then the left one will. |
| [01:04.44] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [01:09.19] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [01:13.02] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [01:17.57] |
I owe my soul to the company's store |
| [01:28.83] |
Some people say a man is made out of mud. |
| [01:33.53] |
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood. |
| [01:37.42] |
Muscle and blood and skin and bones. |
| [01:41.96] |
A mind that is weak and a back that's strong. |
| [01:45.30] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [01:50.50] |
Another day older and deeper in debt. |
| [01:54.44] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [01:58.99] |
I owe my soul to the company's store. |
