[00:01.00]
[00:04.95]Some people say a man is made outta mud
[00:10.95]A poor man made outta muscle and blood
[00:14.64]Muscle and blood skin and bones
[00:18.76]A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
[00:22.51]
[00:22.76]You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?
[00:26.45]Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:30.31]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[00:34.43]I owe my soul to the company store
[00:40.06]
[00:41.00]I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
[00:46.12]I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
[00:49.93]I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
[00:54.00]And the straw boss said "Well, bless my soul"
[00:57.87]
[00:58.06]You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[01:01.68]Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:05.62]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:09.87]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:15.18]
[01:16.30]If you see me comin', better step aside
[01:21.24]A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
[01:25.11]One fist of iron, the other of steel
[01:28.93]If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will
[01:32.93]
[01:33.24]You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

[01:51.42]
[01:51.74]I was born one mornin', and it was drizzlin' rain
[01:56.67]Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
[02:00.42]I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
[02:04.30]Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
[02:08.17]
[02:08.42]You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[02:12.29]Another day older and deeper in debt
