[00:00:00] Written by：Merle Travis

[00:00:08] People say a man is made outta mud

[00:00:12] Poor man made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:16] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:21] A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:25] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:30] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:34] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:39] Owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:50] I was born one morning

[00:00:55] When the sun didn't shine

[00:00:58] I picked up my shovel and I started to the mine

[00:01:02] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:01:07] The straw boss said "Well now bless his soul"

[00:01:11] He loaded sixteen tons and what did he get

[00:01:16] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:20] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:26] Owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:36] You see me coming you better step aside

[00:01:48] A lotta men didn't and a lotta of 'em died

[00:01:54] One fist of iron the other one of steel

[00:01:58] The right one don't get you then the left one will

[00:02:02] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:02:07] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:11] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:16] Owe my soul to the company store
