Song Lyrics
I picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine, one fist of iron Sixteen, another day older and deeper in debt
A mind that s a-weak and a back that s strong, i was born one mornin
Cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line, i was born one mornin when the sun didn t shine, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
I picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
I owe my soul to the company store, i was born one mornin
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, it was drizzlin rain Frankie, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
i owe my soul to the company store
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, then the left one will
it was drizzlin rain
one fist of iron
Then the left one will, some people say man is made out of mud, i loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
If the right one don t git ya, one fist of iron
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, i owe my soul to the company store, i was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion
I owe my soul to the company store, i owe my soul to the company store
Fightin and trouble are my middle name, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
fightin and trouble are my middle name
I picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine, i was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion Laine, i loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
Another day older and deeper in debt, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line
And the store-boss said the well-a bless my soul, i was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
another day older and deeper in debt
Fightin and trouble are my middle name, i loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, i loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, another day older and deeper in debt
i was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, the other of steel
another day older and deeper in debt
Then the left one will, another day older and deeper in debt, another day older and deeper in debt
I owe my soul to the company store, i owe my soul to the company store
And the store-boss said the well-a bless my soul, another day older and deeper in debt, fightin and trouble are my middle name
saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
A lot of men didn t and a lot of men died, i was born one mornin when the sun didn t shine, another day older and deeper in debt
you load sixteen tons and what do you get
A poor man s made out of muscle and blood, i owe my soul to the company store
Another day older and deeper in debt, i loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal Tons, another day older and deeper in debt
I owe my soul to the company store, muscle and blood and skin and bone Laine, one fist of iron
if the right one don t git ya
I owe my soul to the company store, a poor man s made out of muscle and blood Laine, a lot of men didn t and a lot of men died
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line
If the right one don t git ya, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
It was drizzlin rain, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
Some people say man is made out of mud, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
