Composer * Tennessee Ernie Ford
Genre * Rock/Male Vocal
Producer * A. Pastor
=======================================================
Some peo-ple say a man is made out-ta mud A poor man's made out-ta mus-cle and blood Mus-cle and blood and skin and bones A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load six-teen tons, what do you get A-no-ther day ol-der and dee-per in debt Saint Pe-ter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the com-pa-ny store
I was born one mor-nin' when the sun did-n't shine I picked up my sho-vel and I walked to the mine I loa-ded six-teen tons of num-ber nine coal And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
You load six-teen tons, what do you get A-no-ther day ol-der and dee-per in debt Saint Pe-ter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the com-pa-ny store
I was born one mor-nin', it was drizz-lin' rain Fight-in' and trou-ble are my mid-dle name I was rai-sed in the cane-brake by an ol' ma-ma li-on Cain't no-a high-toned wo-man make me walk the line
You load six-teen tons, what do you get A-no-ther day ol-der and dee-per in debt Saint Pe-ter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the com-pa-ny store
If you see me co-min', bet-ter step a-side A lot-ta men did-n't, a lot-ta men died One fist of i-ron, and the o-ther of steel The right one don't a-get you Then the left one will
You load six-teen tons, what do you get A-no-ther day ol-der and dee-per in debt Saint Pe-ter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the com-pa-ny store
