Frankie Laine - Sixteen Tons Lyrics

Sixteen tons Song Lyrics
Sixteen tons by Frankie Laine ~Sixteen tons~

Some people say a man is made out of mud.
A poor man's made out of 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?
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 morning 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.”

If you see me coming, better step aside.
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died.
One fist of iron, the other of steel-
If the right one don't get you then the left one will!

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.
