sixteen tons - trade martin lyrics

Loading...

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

[chorus]
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”

[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint petеr don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to thе company store

if you see me comin’, better step aside
a lotta men didn’t, a lotta men died
i got one fist of iron, the other of steel
if the right one don’t a*get you, then the left one will
[chorus]
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
