lirik lagu stan ridgway - sixteen tons
sixteens tons
===========
some people say a man is made out of mud
a poor man’s made out of mud and muscle and blood
muscle and blood and skin and bones
a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong
you load sixteen tons, what do you get
another day older and deeper in debt
st. 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 my shovel and i walked to the mine
i loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
and the strawboss said, “well, bless my soul!”
(chorus)
i was born one mornin’, it was drizllin’ rain
fightin’ and trouble are my middle name
i was raised in the cane break by an ol’ mama lion
cain’t no high-tone woman make me walk the line
(chorus)
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
and if the right one don’t get you, then the left one will
(chorus)
