Song Lyrics

skin and bones
A lotta men didn t and a lotta men died, i owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin and it was drizzlin rain, if you see me comin, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
If the right one don t getcha, better step aside
i picked up a shovel and walked to the mine

Another day older and deeper in debt, the other of steel
sixteen tons and what do ya get
I picked up a shovel and walked to the mine, i owe my soul to the company store
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, you load sixteen tons and what do ya get
Better step aside, you load sixteen tons and what do ya get

If the right one don t getcha, can t no high-toned woman make me walk the line Sixteen, i owe my soul to the company store
i owe my soul to the company store
I owe my soul to the company store, i loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal, i was born one mornin and it was drizzlin rain
if you see me comin
a mind that s a-weak and a back that s strong

If the right one don t getcha, you load sixteen tons and what do ya get
You load sixteen tons and what do ya get, a lotta men didn t and a lotta men died, better step aside
if the right one don t getcha
a lotta men didn t and a lotta men died
I owe my soul to the company store, if the right one don t getcha

A lotta men didn t and a lotta men died, 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, can t no high-toned woman make me walk the line, another day older and deeper in debt
I picked up a shovel and walked to the mine, you load sixteen tons and what do ya get, then the left one will
If the right one don t getcha, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go

you load sixteen tons and what do ya get
you load sixteen tons and what do ya get
A mind that s a-weak and a back that s strong, if the right one don t getcha Platters, a lotta men didn t and a lotta men died
I owe my soul to the company store, sixteen tons and what do ya get, i loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
Another day older and deeper in debt, better step aside

Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, i loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, better step aside
And the store boss said, you load sixteen tons and what do ya get
If you see me comin, i picked up a shovel and walked to the mine
A mind that s a-weak and a back that s strong, a lotta men didn t and a lotta men died

Sixteen tons and what do ya get, a mind that s a-weak and a back that s strong
another day older and deeper in debt
if you see me comin
I was born one mornin and it was drizzlin rain, skin and bones The, you load sixteen tons and what do ya get
some people say a man is made outta mud

A poor man s made outta muscle and blood, i owe my soul to the company store
I owe my soul to the company store, i picked up a shovel and walked to the mine Platters, a lotta men didn t and a lotta men died
some people say a man is made outta mud
Can t no high-toned woman make me walk the line, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
You load sixteen tons and what do ya get, sixteen tons and what do ya get, another day older and deeper in debt

I picked up a shovel and walked to the mine, a muscle and blood, sixteen tons and what do ya get
you load sixteen tons and what do ya get
Another day older and deeper in debt, another day older and deeper in debt Sixteen, another day older and deeper in debt
