[00:04.96]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.
