[INTRO: ]Em B7 Em
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.
[Refrão]
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 sto'.*
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, bless my soul!"
[Refrão]
You load sixteen tons, and 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 sto'.
I was born one morning, it was drizzling rain.
Fighting and trouble are my middle name.
I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion.
Ain't no high-tone woman make me walk the line.
Chorus
If you see me coming, better step aside.
A lot of men didn't; 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.
[Refrão]
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 so-o-o--ul to the company sto'.
