[00:05.43]Some people say a man is made out of mud
[00:10.66]A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
[00:13.95]Muscle and blood and skin and bones
[00:17.19]A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
[00:20.39]You load sixteen tons, whattaya get?
[00:23.47]Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:27.13]St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go
[00:30.37]I owe my soul to the company store
[00:38.99]I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
[00:43.67]I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
[00:46.77]I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal
[00:50.13]And the straw boss said,
[00:51.71]"Well bless my soul!"
[00:53.14]You load sixteen tons, whattaya get?
[00:56.38]Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:59.74]St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go
[01:03.35]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:12.28]I was born one morning, it was drizzlin' rain
[01:16.87]Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
[01:19.98]I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
[01:23.27]Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line
[01:26.67]You load sixteen tons, whattaya get?
[01:29.74]Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:33.20]St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go
[01:36.81]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:46.57]If you see me comin' better step aside
[01:51.42]A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
[01:54.40]One fist of iron, the other of steel
[01:57.89]If the right one don't getcha then the left one will
[02:00.88]You load sixteen tons, whattaya get?
[02:04.12]Another day older and deeper in debt
[02:07.66]St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go
[02:13.94]I owe my soul to the company store
