Lyrics Sixteen Tons - Eric Burdon
Some
people
say
a
man
is
made
outta′
mud
A
poor
man's
made
outta′
muscle
and
blood
Muscle
and
blood
and
skin
and
bones
A
mind
that's
a-weak
and
a
back
that's
strong
You
load
sixteen
tons,
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
my
shovel
and
I
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,
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',
it
was
drizzlin'
rain
Fightin′
and
trouble
are
my
middle
name
I
was
raised
in
the
canebrake
by
an
ol′
mama
lion
Cain't
no-a
high-toned
woman
make
me
walk
the
line
You
load
sixteen
tons,
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,
a
lotta
men
died
One
fist
of
iron,
the
other
of
steel
If
the
right
one
don't
getcha,
then
the
left
one
will
You
load
sixteen
tons,
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.
