lirik lagu colm r. mcguinness - sixteen tons
[verse 1]
some people say a man is made out of mud
a poor man’s made out of muscle and blood
muscle and blood and skin and bones
a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong
[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you 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
[verse 2]
i was born one morning when the sun didn’t shine
i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
i loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
and the straw boss said, “well~a bless my soul!”
[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you 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
[verse 3]
i was born one morning, it was drizzlin’ rain
fightin’ and trouble are my middle name
i was raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion
can’t no high~toned woman make me walk the line
[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you 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
[verse 4]
if you see me comin’ better step aside
a lot of men didn’t, a lot of men died
one fist of iron, the other of steel
if the right one don’t getcha then the left one will
[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you 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
