Lyrics:
[Verse 1] 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 [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 [Verse 2] 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 hollered "Well, bless my soul" [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 [Verse 3] I woke up one mornin' in the drizzlin' rain Fightin' and Trouble is my middle name I was raised in the bottoms by an ol' mama hound I'm as mean as a dog and I'm as gentle as a hound [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 [Verse 4] If you see me comin', you'd better step aside A lotta men didn't, and a lotta men died I got one fist of iron and the next fist of steel If the right one don't 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 [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 Yes, I owe my soul to the company store Yes, I owe my soul to the company store
