Sixteen Tons

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine Picked up my shovel
 and I walked to the mine I hauled sixteen
 tons of number 9 coal And the store boss said, "
 Well, bless my soul"
 ) You haul sixteen tons,
 whadaya 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 store
 Born one morning it was drizzl'n rain Fightin' and Trouble are my
 middle name I was raised in a canebrake by an old
 mama lion And no high-toned woman make me walk the line
 See me comin' better step aside A lot of men didn't and a lot of men
 died I got one fist of iron and the other of steel
 And if the right one don't get ya, the left one will
 Born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine Picked up my shovel and I
 walked to the mine I hauled Sixteen Tons
 of number 9 coal And the store boss said, "
 Well, bless my soul" Some people say a man is made out of mud A poor
 man's made out of muscle and blood
 Muscle and blood, skin and bones...
 A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
 You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?
 another day older and deeper in debt St.
 Peter, don't you call me,
 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store I was born one

 to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of
 number nine coal and the straw boss said, "
 Well bless my soul!" ...
