Lyrics Sixteen Tons - The Platters
Some
people
say
a
man
is
made
outta
mud
A
poor
man's
made
outta
muscle
and
blood
Muscle
and
blood,
and
skin
and
bone
A
mind
that's
a-weak
and
a
back
that's
strong
You
load
16
tons,
and
what
do
you
gain?
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
16
tons
of
number
nine
coal
And
the
straw
boss
said,
"Well,
a-bless
my
soul"
You
load
16
tons,
and
what
do
you
gain?
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,
and
a
lotta
men
died
One
fist
of
iron,
the
other
of
steel
If
the
right
one
don't
a-get
you,
then
the
left
one
will
You
load
16
tons,
and
what
do
you
gain?
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',
and
it
was
drizzlin'
rain
Fightin'
and
trouble
are
my
middle
name
I
was
raised
in
the
canebrake
by
an
ol'
mama
lion
Ain't
no-a
high-toned
woman
make
me
walk
the
line
You
load
16
tons,
and
what
do
you
gain?
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
