Intro: Am F E E7 Am V1. Am F Dm E Some people say a man is made out of mud, Am F Dm E a poor man's made outa muscle an' blood, Am F Dm E Muscle an' blood an' skin an' bone, Am F E7 E a mind that's weak and a back that's strong. [Refrão] E E7 Am F Dm E You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get? Am F Dm E another day older an' deeper in debt; Am F Dm Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go, Am F E E7 Am I owe my soul to the company sto'. Am F E E7 Am V2. Am F Dm E I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine, Am F Dm E I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine; Am F Dm E I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, Am F Dm E an' the straw boss said, "Well, bless my soul!" Chorus V3. Am F Dm E I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain; Am F Dm E fightin' and trouble are my middle name; Am F Dm E I was raised in the cane break by an' ol' mama lion, Am F Dm E ain't no high-tone woman make me walk the line.
