Στίχοι

[Verse 1]
Some people say man's made out of mud
Well a good man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood, and skin and bones
And mind that's a weak and the back that's strong
[Verse 2]
You load 16 tons, and what do you 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
[Verse 3]
I was born one morning when sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I went to the mine
Loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, "Well bless my soul"
[Verse 4]
You load 16 tons, and what do you 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
[Verse 5]
I was born one morning it was drizzling rain
Fighting and trouble's my middle name
I was raised down the canebrake by an old mountain mine
And there ain't no hard hearted women make me walk that line
[Verse 6]
You load 16 tons, and what do you 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
[Verse 7]
If you see me coming, you better step aside
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died
My one  fist is iron and the other one's steel
And if the left don't getcha then the right one will
[Verse 8]
You load 16 tons, and what do you get?
Another day older, and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me, cause I can't go
I own my soul
To the company store
