[00:05.38] Some people say a man is made outta mud
[00:10.37] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
[00:13.98] Muscle and blood and skin and bones
[00:16.98] A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
[00:20.15] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[00:23.67] Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:26.87] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[00:30.48] I owe my soul to the company store
[00:34.26]
[00:35.65]
[00:38.90] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
[00:43.55] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
[00:46.66] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
[00:49.95] And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
[00:53.16] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[00:56.83] Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:59.92] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:03.53] I owe my soul to the company store
[01:08.84]
[01:10.48]
[01:12.12] I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
[01:16.96] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
[01:20.10] I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol' mama lion
[01:23.17] Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
[01:26.75] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[01:30.26] Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:33.26] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:36.90] I owe my soul to the company store
[01:41.95]
[01:43.62]
[01:46.71] If you see me comin', better step aside
[01:51.44] A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
[01:54.85] One fist of iron, the other of steel
[01:57.95] If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will
[02:00.99] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
[02:04.79] Another day older and deeper in debt
[02:07.69] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[02:13.93] I owe my soul to the company store
[02:31.44]
