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...
