[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (Live) - The Weavers

[00:00:01] Written by：Merle Travis

[00:00:07] Will man some fakes say a man is made out of mud

[00:00:11] A poor man's made out of muscle and blood

[00:00:15] Muscle and blood skin and bones

[00:00:18] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:21] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:00:25] You get another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:28] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:32] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:41] Will I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:45] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:48] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:52] And the straw boss holly well a bless your soul

[00:00:55] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:00:59] You get another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:02] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:06] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:15] What I was born one morning in the drizzling rain

[00:01:18] Fighting and trouble been my middle name

[00:01:22] You see me coming you better step aside

[00:01:26] A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died

[00:01:29] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:01:32] You get another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:35] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:39] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:48] I owe my soul to the company store
