Some people say a man is made outta mud |
| [00:13.070] |
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood |
| [00:16.680] |
Muscle and blood and skin and bones |
| [00:19.680] |
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong |
| [00:22.850] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [00:26.370] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [00:29.570] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [00:33.180] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
| [00:37.260] |
|
| [00:47.000] |
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine |
| [00:51.350] |
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine |
| [00:54.160] |
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal |
| [00:57.150] |
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul" |
| [01:00.060] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [01:03.430] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [01:06.220] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [01:09.530] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
| [01:14.840] |
|
| [01:22.320] |
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain |
| [01:27.160] |
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name |
| [01:30.300] |
I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol' mama lion |
| [01:33.370] |
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line |
| [01:36.950] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [01:39.860] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [01:42.860] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [01:46.500] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
| [01:51.550] |
|
| [01:58.710] |
If you see me comin', better step aside |
| [02:03.440] |
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died |
| [02:06.850] |
One fist of iron, the other of steel |
| [02:09.350] |
If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will |
| [02:12.390] |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? |
| [02:16.190] |
Another day older and deeper in debt |
| [02:19.090] |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go |
| [02:25.330] |
I owe my soul to the company store |
| [02:42.840] |
