[00:00:00] Written by：Merle Travi

[00:00:06] Some people say a man

[00:00:08] Is made outta' mud

[00:00:10] A poor man's made

[00:00:11] Outta' muscle and blood

[00:00:13] Muscle and blood and

[00:00:14] Skin and bones

[00:00:16] A mind that's a weak and

[00:00:17] A back that's strong

[00:00:19] You load sixteen tons

[00:00:20] What do you get

[00:00:22] Another day older

[00:00:23] And deeper in debt

[00:00:25] Saint peter don't you

[00:00:26] Call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:28] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:36] I was born one mornin'

[00:00:38] When the sun didn't shine

[00:00:40] I picked up my shovel and

[00:00:41] I walked to the mine

[00:00:42] I loaded sixteen tons

[00:00:44] Of number 9 coal

[00:00:45] And the store boss said

[00:00:47] Well a bless my soul

[00:00:48] You load sixteen tons

[00:00:50] What do you get

[00:00:52] Another day older and

[00:00:53] Deeper in debt

[00:00:54] Saint peter don't you

[00:00:56] Call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:57] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:06] I was born one mornin'

[00:01:08] It was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:09] Fightin' and trouble are

[00:01:11] My middle name

[00:01:12] I was raised in the canebrake

[00:01:14] By an ol' mama lion

[00:01:15] Cain't no a high toned

[00:01:16] Woman make me walk the line

[00:01:18] You load sixteen tons

[00:01:20] What do you get

[00:01:21] Another day older and

[00:01:23] Deeper in debt

[00:01:24] Saint peter don't you

[00:01:25] Call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:27] I owe my soul to the

[00:01:29] Company store

[00:01:36] If you see me comin'

[00:01:37] Better step aside

[00:01:39] A lotta men didn't

[00:01:40] A lotta men died

[00:01:42] One fist of iron the

[00:01:44] Other of steel

[00:01:45] If the right one don't a get

[00:01:46] You then the left one will

[00:01:48] You load sixteen tons

[00:01:50] What do you get

[00:01:51] Another day older and

[00:01:52] Deeper in debt

[00:01:54] Saint peter don't you

[00:01:55] Call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:57] I owe my soul to the company store
