Lyrics for 'Sixteen Tons' by 'Stan Ridgway'
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)
