lirik lagu sixteen tons – johnnie taylor
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
with a mind that’s a*weak with a back that’s strong
you load sixteen tons, what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
st. peter, don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store huh oh yeah
do the boogaloo one time, now listen
i was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
i loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
the straw boss said, “well, a*bless my soul”
you load, you loaded, you loaded sixteen tons, now what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
st. peter, don’t call me ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store
huh, alright
i was born one mornin’, it was drizzlin’ rain
fightin’ and trouble is my middle name
i was raised in the canebrake by an ol’ mama lion
and don’t no high toned woman make me walk the line
i loaded, i loaded i loaded, ooh can’t you see
i loaded sixteen tons
every day on my job i had to loaded sixteen tons
sometimes when i was worried still i loaded sixteen ton
sometimes when i didn’t feel good – i loaded sixteen ton
you know what the man told me one day
“you’re the best man i got on the job”
