sixteen tons - dave dudley lyrics

Loading...

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…
