[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons - Rod McKuen

[00:00:01] Written by：DR

[00:00:07] Some people say a man is made out of mud

[00:00:12] A poor man's made out of muscle and blood

[00:00:16] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:19] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:23] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:00:27] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:30] Saint peter don't you call me' cause I can't go

[00:00:34] 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 bless my soul

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

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

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

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

[00:01:25] I was born one morning it was drizzling rain

[00:01:30] Fighting and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:34] I was raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion

[00:01:37] Ain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:41] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:45] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:49] And saint peter don't you call me I won't go

[00:01:53] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:02:05] If you see me coming better step aside

[00:02:10] A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died

[00:02:13] I got one fist of iron and the other of steel

[00:02:17] If the right one don't

[00:02:18] Get you then the left one will

[00:02:21] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:02:25] Another day older but deeper in debt

[00:02:29] Now saint peter don't you call me' cause I can't go

[00:02:33] I owe my soul to the company store
