[00:04.150]Some people say a man is made out of mud
[00:09.300]A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
[00:12.500]Muscle and blood and skin and bones
[00:16.150]A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
[00:19.350]You load sixteen tons, what do you get
[00:23.000]Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:25.600]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[00:29.750]I owe my soul to the company store
[00:38.480]I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
[00:42.680]I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
[00:45.880]I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
[00:48.980]And the straw boss said ＂Well, a-bless my soul＂
[00:52.630]You load sixteen tons, what do you get
[00:55.780]Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:58.330]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:01.930]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:11.400]I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
[01:15.050]Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
[01:19.300]Raised in the Canebrake by an old mama lion
[01:21.960]Ain't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line
[01:25.510]You load sixteen tons, what do you get
[01:28.810]Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:31.460]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:35.060]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:44.930]If you see me comin', better step aside
[01:49.190]A lot of men didn't, and a lot of men died
[01:52.170]With one fist of iron, and the other of steel
[01:55.790]If the right one don't get you then the left one will
[01:58.890]You load sixteen tons, what do you get
[02:02.540]Another day older and deeper in debt
[02:05.190]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[02:12.390]I owe my soul to the company store
