Paroles
0:07Some people say a man is made of a mud
0:11A poor man's made of muscie and blood
0:15Muscle and blood and skin and bones
0:19A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
0:22You load sixteen tons what do you get
0:26Another day older and deeper in debt
0:29Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go
0:33I owe my soul to the company store
0:44I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
0:48I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
0:52I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
0:56And the straw boss said well bless my soul
0:59You load sixteen tons and what do you get
1:03Another day older and deeper in debt
1:07Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go
1:11I owe my soul to the company store
1:21I was born one morning it was drizzling rain
1:26Fighting and trouble are my middle name
1:29I was raised in cane-brake by an old mamma lion
1:32Can't no high toned woman make me walk the line
1:36You load sixteen tons and what do you get
1:41Another day older and deeper in debt
1:44Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go
1:48I owe my soul to the company store
1:59If you see me coming better step aside
2:03A lotta men didn't and a lotta men died
2:07One fist of iron the other of steel
2:10If the right one don't get you then the left one will
2:14You load sixteen tons and what do you get
2:18Another day older and deeper in debt
2:21Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go
2:27I owe my soul to the company store
