Sixteen Tons Lyrics
I...........was born one morning when the sun didn't shineI picked up my shovel and I walked to the mineI loaded sixteen tonsof number 9 coalAnd the straw boss said,"well, a bless my soul"*********chorus***********He loaded sixteen tonsWhat do you getAnother day older and deeper in debtSt. Peter don't you call meCause I can't go,I owe my soul to the company storeI was born one morning when it was drizzling rainFighting and trouble is my middle nameI was raised in a King BreakBy an old mother lionAin't no high talking woman gonna make me walk the line**********repeat chorus**************Some people say a man Is made out of mudA poor man's made outtaMuscle and bloodMuscle and blood, skin and boneA mind that's weak And a back's that strong*************repeat chorus***********Well, if you see me comin'Better step asideCause a lot of men didn'tAnd a lot of men diedOne fist of iron, the other of steelIf the right one don't get youThen the right one will*********repeat chorus**************
