Frankie Laine - Sixteen Tons
songwriters: Travis, Merle;
some People Say A Man Is Made Outta` Mud A Poor Man`s Made Outta` Muscle And Blood A Muscle And Blood, Skin And Bones A Mind That`s A-weak And A Back That`s Strong You Load Sixteen Tons And What Do Ya Get? Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt Saint Peter Don`t You Call Me `cause I Can`t Go I Owe My Soul To The Company Store I Was Born One Mornin` When The Sun Didn`t Shine I Picked Up A Shovel And Walked To The Mine I Loaded Sixteen Tons Of Number 9 Coal And The Store Boss Said, `well, A-bless My Soul` You Load Sixteen Tons And What Do Ya Get? Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt Saint Peter Don`t You Call Me `cause I Can`t Go I Owe My Soul To The Company Store If You See Me Comin`, Better Step Aside A Lotta Men Didn`t And A Lotta Men Died One Fist Of Iron, The Other Of Steel If The Right One Don`t Getcha, Then The Left One Will Sixteen Tons And What Do Ya Get? Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt Saint Peter Don`t You Call Me `cause I Can`t Go I Owe My Soul To The Company Store I Was Born One Mornin` And It Was Drizzlin` Rain Fightin` And Trouble Are My Middle Name I Was Raised In A Canebrake By An Ol` Mama Lion Can`t No-a High-toned Woman Make Me Walk The Line You Load Sixteen Tons And What Do Ya Get? Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt Saint Peter Don`t You Call Me `cause I Can`t Go I Owe My Soul To The Company Store
