SIXTEEN TONS
WRITTEN BY:
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
You load sixteen tons 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 soal to the company store
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up a shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
and the strong boss said, "well bless my soal".
I was born one morning it was drizzling rain
Fighting and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in a cave bred by a old mama lion
Can't let a hot toe woman make me walk the line
If you see me coming better step aside
A lot of men didn't alot of man died
One fist of iron the other of steel
If the right one don't get ya then the left one will
