[00:00:01] Written by：Merle Travis

[00:00:09] Some people say a man is made out of mud

[00:00:14] Well a poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:18] Muscle and blood

[00:00:21] Skin and bone

[00:00:23] A mind

[00:00:23] That's weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:27] You load sixteen tons and whaddaya get

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

[00:00:36] Saint peter don'tcha call me

[00:00:38] 'Cause I can't go

[00:00:40] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:49] I was born one morning

[00:00:51] When the sun didn't shine

[00:00:54] I picked up his shovel

[00:00:56] And walk to the mines

[00:00:58] I loaded sixteen tons number nine coal

[00:01:03] Till boss said

[00:01:05] Well uh bless my soul

[00:01:07] You load sixteen tons and whaddaya get on

[00:01:12] Another day older and deeper in dept

[00:01:16] Saint peter don'tcha call me

[00:01:18] 'Cause I can't go

[00:01:20] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:29] I was born one mornin it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:34] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:39] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:43] Cain't no a high toned woman make me

[00:01:46] Walk the line

[00:01:47] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:01:52] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:57] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:01] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:02:10] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:02:15] A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died

[00:02:19] I got one fist of iron

[00:02:22] The other of steel

[00:02:23] And the right one doesn't

[00:02:25] Get you then the list one will

[00:02:28] You load sixteen tons and whaddaya get

[00:02:32] Another day older and deeper in dept

[00:02:37] Saint peter don'tcha call me

[00:02:39] 'Cause I can't go

[00:02:43] I owe my soul

[00:02:50] To the company

[00:02:54] Store
