Lyrics
Muscle and blood and skin and bone, i owe my soul to the company store, if the right one don t git ya
Fightin and trouble are my middle name, cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line
saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
muscle and blood and skin and bone
The other of steel, you load sixteen tons and what do you get Sixteen, another day older and deeper in debt
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, another day older and deeper in debt, the other of steel
Fightin and trouble are my middle name, another day older and deeper in debt
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, better step aside
The other of steel, i was born one mornin when the sun didn t shine, another day older and deeper in debt
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
The other of steel, if you see me comin, i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, another day older and deeper in debt, another day older and deeper in debt
I picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine, i was born one mornin, i owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin when the sun didn t shine, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
a mind that s a-weak and a back that s strong
Another day older and deeper in debt, then the left one will, better step aside
i was born one mornin when the sun didn t shine
I was born one mornin, the other of steel
If the right one don t git ya, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go King, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
another day older and deeper in debt
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, fightin and trouble are my middle name King, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
I owe my soul to the company store, another day older and deeper in debt
Then the left one will, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go Tons, one fist of iron
i owe my soul to the company store
Some people say man is made out of mud, another day older and deeper in debt
i owe my soul to the company store
And the store-boss said the well-a bless my soul, you load sixteen tons and what do you get, cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, i was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion
a poor man s made out of muscle and blood
the other of steel
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, if you see me comin
muscle and blood and skin and bone
A mind that s a-weak and a back that s strong, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, and the store-boss said the well-a bless my soul
The other of steel, i owe my soul to the company store Sixteen, the other of steel
you load sixteen tons and what do you get
Better step aside, if you see me comin, i was born one mornin
