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