Şarkı sözleri

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
You load sixteen 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]
We're not going back to those days of Sixteen Tons
[Verse 4]
I was born one morning and the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of no. 9 coal
And the store boss said, "Well, bless my soul"
[Verse 5]
You load sixteen 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 6]
We're not going to be taking the red line
We're taking the green line to prosperity
[Verse 7]
I was born one morning, it was drizzling rain
Fighting and trouble are my middle name
Raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion
Can't no high-tone woman make me walk the line
[Verse 8]
You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?
Another day older, deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
[Verse 9]
We're not going back to those days of Sixteen Tons
[Verse 10]
If you see me coming, better step aside
A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't get ya, then the left one will
[Verse 11]
You load sixteen 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
