SIXTEEN TONS

4/4 1…2…1234

Intro:

Do do do do do do do do

Some people say a man is made out of

mud, a poor man’s made out of muscle and blood

Well, I was born one morning when the sun didn’t shine, I picked up my shovel and walked to the mine

Well, I was born one morning it was drizzlin’ rain, fightin’ and trouble are my middle name

If you see me comin’ better

step

a - side, a lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died

Muscle and blood and skin and bones, a

mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, and the straw boss said, “Well, bless my soul!”

I was raised in the canebreak by an old mamma lion, can’t no high-toned woman make me walk the line

One fist of iron and the other of steel, if the right one doesn’t get you then the left one will.

CHORUS:

You load sixteen tons and what do you get?

An-other day older and deeper in debt

St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company’s store.
