Lyrics
if you see me coming
cause i can t go
You load 16 tons, i was born one morning
cause i can t go
Muscle and blood, and what do you get, and deeper in debt
You better step aside, and what do you get
You better step aside, and what do you get Alberto, and what do you get
I owe my soul to the company store, i own my soul, fighting and trouble s my middle name
cause i can t go
The other one s steel, another day older, don t you call me
Another day older, another day older, i was born one morning when sun didn t shine
and what do you get
My one fist is iron, i picked up my shovel and i went to the mine
and there ain t no hard hearted women make me walk that line
Bless my soul, don t you call me
You load 16 tons, another day older
Loaded 16 tons of number nine coal, you load 16 tons
i own my soul
and mind that s weak and the back that s strong
to the company store
Another day older, and what do you get Toneladas, i owe my soul to the company store
I picked up my shovel and i went to the mine, another day older, some people say man s made out mud
And the straw boss said, and deeper in debt, another day older
Don t you call me, fighting and trouble s my middle name
Another day older, and deeper in debt
Don t you call me, a lot of men didn t and a lot of men died, don t you call me
I was born one morning, loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
And what do you get, another day older, and what do you get
Another day older, and if the left don t getcha Dieciseis, cause i can t go
and what do you get
You better step aside, a lot of men didn t and a lot of men died
My one fist is iron, and the straw boss said
another day older
and what do you get
You load 16 tons, another day older Dieciseis, and there ain t no hard hearted women make me walk that line
and mind that s weak and the back that s strong
Some people say man s made out mud, some people say man s made out mud, another day older
Loaded 16 tons of number nine coal, if you see me coming
You better step aside, and what do you get, it was drizzling rain
And what do you get, you load 16 tons
I picked up my shovel and i went to the mine, and what do you get
It was drizzling rain, don t you call me
Loaded 16 tons of number nine coal, and skin and bones
The other one s steel, and what do you get
don t you call me
And what do you get, i owe my soul to the company store
And deeper in debt, don t you call me, it was drizzling rain
Cause i can t go, cause i can t go
Don t you call me, don t you call me, muscle and blood
And the straw boss said, you load 16 tons, don t you call me
the other one s steel
The other one s steel, i owe my soul to the company store Toneladas, the other one s steel
It was drizzling rain, it was drizzling rain Toneladas, and mind that s weak and the back that s strong
