Tennessee Ernie Ford - 16 Tons

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">Some people say a man is made outta mud
</span><span style="color:#323232;">A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Muscle and blood and skin and bones
</span><span style="color:#323232;">A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">You load 16 tons, what do you get?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Another day older and deeper in debt
</span><span style="color:#323232;">St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I owe my soul to the company store
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
</span><span style="color:#323232;">And the straw boss said, "Well, a-bless my soul"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">You load 16 tons, what do you get?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Another day older and deeper in debt
</span><span style="color:#323232;">St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I owe my soul to the company store
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Can't no high toned woman make me walk the line
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">You load 16 tons, what do you get?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Another day older and deeper in debt
</span><span style="color:#323232;">St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I owe my soul to the company store
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">If you see me comin', better step aside
</span><span style="color:#323232;">A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
</span><span style="color:#323232;">One fist of iron, the other of steel
</span><span style="color:#323232;">If the right one don't get you
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Then the left one will
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">You load 16 tons, what do you get?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Another day older and deeper in debt
</span><span style="color:#323232;">St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I owe my soul to the company store
