[00:02.550]Written by：Travis
[00:05.116]Some people say a man is made out of mud
[00:10.434]A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
[00:13.718]Muscle and blood and skin and bones
[00:16.943]A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
[00:19.778]You load sixteen tons whattaya get
[00:23.768]Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:26.675]St peter don'cha call me 'cause I can't go
[00:30.170]I owe my soul to the company store
[00:38.863]I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
[00:43.652]I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
[00:46.265]I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
[00:49.793]And the straw boss said the well bless my soul
[00:52.947]You load sixteen tons whattaya get
[00:56.869]Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:59.848]St peter don'cha call me 'cause I can't go
[01:03.411]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:12.085]I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain
[01:16.869]Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
[01:20.005]I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
[01:22.895]Can't no high toned woman make me walk the line
[01:26.388]You load sixteen tons whattaya get
[01:30.214]Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:33.193]St peter don'cha call me 'cause I can't go
[01:36.768]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:46.465]If you see me comin' better step aside
[01:51.383]A lotta men didn't a lotta men died
[01:54.616]One fist of iron the other of steel
[01:57.664]If the right one don't getcha then the left one will
[02:00.635]You load sixteen tons whattaya get
[02:04.494]Another day older and deeper in debt
[02:07.573]St peter don'cha call me 'cause I can't go
[02:13.757]I owe my soul
[02:24.824]To the company store
