[00:11.43]Some people say a man is made out of mud
[00:15.11]A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
[00:18.23]Muscle and blood and skin and bones
[00:20.92]A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
[00:24.04]You load sixteen tons  what do you get
[00:26.97]Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:30.09]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[00:33.08]I owe my soul to the company store
[00:37.02]
[00:47.44]I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
[00:50.99]I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
[00:53.80]I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
[00:56.24]And the straw boss said ＂Well  a-bless my soul＂
[00:59.98]You load sixteen tons  what do you get
[01:02.72]Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:05.84]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:08.78]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:11.93]
[01:22.53]I was born one mornin'  it was drizzlin' rain
[01:26.84]Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
[01:29.52]Raised in the Canebrake by an old mama lion
[01:32.58]Ain't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line
[01:35.64]You load sixteen tons  what do you get
[01:38.63]Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:41.69]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:44.75]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:48.85]
[01:58.33]If you see me comin'  better step aside
[02:02.82]A lot of men didn't  and a lot of men died
[02:05.75]With one fist of iron  and the other of steel
[02:08.44]If the right one don't get you then the left one will
[02:11.56]You load sixteen tons  what do you get
[02:14.55]Another day older and deeper in debt
[02:17.61]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[02:20.67]
[02:23.88]I owe my soul to the company store
