Align:    
  • Some people say a man's made outta mud a poor man's made outta muscle and blood
  • Muscle and blood and skin and bones a mind that's weak and a back that's strong
  • You load sixteen tons what do you get just 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
  • [ guitar ]
  • I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
  • I picked up a shovel walked out to the mine
  • I loaded sixteen tons of No 9 coal and the storeboss said well bless my soul
  • You load sixteen tons...
  • [ guitar ]
  • I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain
  • A figtin' and trouble that's my middle name
  • I was risin' the cane raiped by that ol' mom of mine
  • Ain't no hightoned woman makes me walk the line
  • You load sixteen tons...
  • [ guitar ]
  • Well if you see me comin' you better step aside a lotta men didn't a lotta men died
  • One fist is iron the other one's steel
  • If the right one don't get you then the left one will
  • You load sixteen tons...
