Sixteen Tons

[INTRO: ]Em B7 Em Em Some people say a man is made out of mud. A poor man's made out of muscle and blood, Am Muscle and blood and skin and bones, B7 Em A mind that's weak and a back that's strong. [Refrão] Em You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Am Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go. Em B7 Em I owe my soul to the company sto'.* Em I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine. I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine, Am I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal B7 Em And the straw boss said, "Well, bless my soul!" [Refrão] Em You load sixteen tons, and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Am Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go; Em B7 Em I owe my soul to the company sto'. Em I was born one morning, it was drizzling rain. Fighting and trouble are my middle name. Am I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion. B7 Em Ain't no high-tone woman make me walk the line. Chorus Em If you see me coming, better step aside. A lot of men didn't; a lot of men died. Am One fist of iron, the other of steel, B7 Em If the right one don't get you then the left one will. [Refrão] Em You load sixteen tons what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Am Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go. Em Em B7 Em I owe my so-o-o--ul to the company sto'.
