Lyrics:

Some People Say A Man Is Made Outta Mud
A Poor Man's Made Outta Muscle And Blood
Muscle And Blood And Skin And Bones
A Mind That's A-Weak And A Back That's Strong

You Load Sixteen Tons, What Do You Get
Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt
Saint Peter Don't You Call Me 'cause I Can't Go
I Owe My Soul To The Company Store

I Was Born One Mornin' When The Sun Didn't Shine
I Picked Up My Shovel And I Walked To The Mine
I Loaded Sixteen Tons Of Number Nine Coal
And The Straw Boss Said 'well, A-Bless My Soul'

You Load Sixteen Tons, What Do You Get
Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt
Saint Peter Don't You Call Me 'cause I Can't Go
I Owe My Soul To The Company Store

I Was Born One Mornin', It Was Drizzlin' Rain
Fightin' And Trouble Are My Middle Name
I Was Raised In The Canebrake By An Ol' Mama Lion
Cain't No-A High-Toned Woman Make Me Walk The Line

You Load Sixteen Tons, What Do You Get
Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt
Saint Peter Don't You Call Me 'cause I Can't Go
I Owe My Soul To The Company Store

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 A-Get You
Then The Left One Will

You Load Sixteen Tons, What Do You Get
Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt
Saint Peter Don't You Call Me 'cause I Can't Go
I Owe My Soul To The Company Store
