Lyrics

Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made from muscle and blood
It's 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 I'm deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Everybody!
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up that shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
And the boss man said, "Well bless my soul!"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't quit
I owe my soul to the company
Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made from muscle and blood
It's 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 I'm deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't quit
I owe my soul to the company
Take it home!
