[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons - Big Bill Broonzy/The Monitors

[00:00:01] Written by：Merle Travis

[00:00:16] Some people says the man's made out of mud

[00:00:20] Man's made out of flash and blood

[00:00:23] Flash and blood and skin and bone

[00:00:26] A mind that's week and a back that's strong

[00:00:29] You load sixteen tons so what do you get

[00:00:32] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:35] So St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:38] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:45] I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:48] Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine

[00:00:51] I loaded sixteen ton of number nine coal

[00:00:54] The straw boss said god dog your soul

[00:00:57] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:01:00] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:03] So St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:07] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:12] I was born one mornin' when it was drizzle in rain

[00:01:16] Fightin' and shootin' is my middle name

[00:01:18] I was born in a canebreak raised by my ol' mama hound

[00:01:22] No high tone mama can make me change my mind

[00:01:25] I load sixteen tons so what do you get

[00:01:28] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:31] So St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:35] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:41] You see me comin' you better step aside

[00:01:45] A lot of people didn't and a whole lot of them died

[00:01:47] One fist of iron and one of steal

[00:01:51] The right one don't get you boy

[00:01:53] The left one will

[00:01:54] So load sixteen ton what do you get

[00:01:57] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:00] So St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:06] I owe my soul to the company store
