Some people say a man is made out'a mud, (ah-uh-) A poor man made out'a muscle and blood, (ah-uh-) Muscle and blood, skin and bones, (-uh-) A mind that's weak and the back that's strong. (ah-uh-)
You load sixteen tons and what do you get? (ah-uh-) Another day older and deeper in debt. (ah-uh-) Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go, (-uh-) I owe ma-ay soul to the company store.
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine, (ah-uh-) I picked up my shovel and walked to the mine, (ah-uh-) I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, (-uh-) And the store boss said: \"Well, bless my soul!\" (ah-uh-)
You load sixteen tons and what do you get? (ah-uh-) Another day older and deeper in debt. (ah-uh-) Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go, (-uh-) I owe ma-ay soul to the company store.
If you see me coming - better step aside, (ah-uh-) A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died. (ah-uh-) My one feast of iron, the other of steel, (-uh-) If the right one don't getcha then the left one will! (ah-uh-)
You load sixteen tons and what do you get? (ah-uh-) Another day older and deeper in debt. (ah-uh-) Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go, (-uh-) I owe ma-ay soul to the company store.
I was born one morning and it was drizzling rain, (ah-uh-) Fighting and Trouble'a my middle name, (ah-uh-) I was raised in a canebrake by an old mama lion, (-uh-) Ain't no high-tone women make me walk the line! (ah-uh-)
You load sixteen tons and what do you get? (ah-uh-) Another day older and deeper in debt. (ah-uh-) Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go, (-uh-) I o-owe ma-ay so-ooo-oul to the company store-.
