[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons - The Soaked Lamb

[00:00:01] Written by：Merle Travis

[00:00:08] Some people say a man is made out of mud

[00:00:14] A poor man's made out of muscle and blood

[00:00:18] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:22] A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:25] You load sixteen tons what you get

[00:00:29] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:33] St Peter don'cha call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:37] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:46] I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:51] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:55] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:59] And the straw boss said Well bless my soul

[00:01:02] You load sixteen tons what you get

[00:01:06] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:10] St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:14] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:22] I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:27] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:30] I was raised in the cane

[00:01:32] Break by an old mama lion

[00:01:34] Can't no high toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:38] You load sixteen tons what you get

[00:01:41] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:45] St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:49] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:59] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:02:04] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:02:07] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:02:11] If the right one don't get you then the left one will

[00:02:15] You load sixteen tons what you get

[00:02:18] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:22] St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:26] I owe my soul to the company store
