[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons - The Weavers

[00:00:01] Written by：Merle Travis

[00:00:07] Will man some folks say a man is made out of mud

[00:00:11] A poor man's made out of muscle and blood

[00:00:15] Muscle and blood skin and bones

[00:00:18] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:21] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:00:24] You get another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:28] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:32] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:41] Will I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:44] I grab my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:48] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:51] And the straw boss holly well a bless your soul

[00:00:55] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:00:58] You get another day older and deeper in debt

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

[00:01:05] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:14] What I was born one morning in the drizzling rain

[00:01:18] Fighting and trouble been my middle name

[00:01:21] You see me coming you better step aside

[00:01:25] A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died

[00:01:28] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:01:31] You get another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:35] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:38] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:48] I owe my soul to the company store
