Frankie Laine - Sixteen Tons

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood, skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons an' what do you get
Another day older deeper and debt
St Peter don't you call me I cause can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Well, I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up a shovel, Iwalked out to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of Number 9 coal
An' the store boss said Well, bless my soul
You load sixteen tons an' what do you get
Another day older deeper and debt
St Peter don't you call me I cause can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Well, I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' an' trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
Can't no high toned woman makes me walk the line
You load sixteen tons an' what do you get
Another day older deeper and debt
St Peter don't you call me I cause can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Well, if you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't get you, then the left one will
You load sixteen tons an' what do you get
Another day older deeper and debt
St Peter don't you call me I cause can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
