Lyrics
another day older and deeper in debt
i was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion
Cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line, one fist of iron
Better step aside, i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
the other of steel
I owe my soul to the company store, then the left one will, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, it was drizzlin rain
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, i was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion, fightin and trouble are my middle name
I was born one mornin, if the right one don t git ya
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, if you see me comin
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, i was born one mornin Frankie, if you see me comin
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, better step aside
Cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, another day older and deeper in debt
I owe my soul to the company store, 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, you load sixteen tons and what do you get, muscle and blood and skin and bone
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, you load sixteen tons and what do you get, i owe my soul to the company store
i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
i owe my soul to the company store
I owe my soul to the company store, another day older and deeper in debt
saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
It was drizzlin rain, i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine, another day older and deeper in debt
Saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line
I was born one mornin, better step aside, i owe my soul to the company store
a poor man s made out of muscle and blood
you load sixteen tons and what do you get
cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line
you load sixteen tons and what do you get
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line
I owe my soul to the company store, and the store-boss said the well-a bless my soul
then the left one will
The other of steel, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
you load sixteen tons and what do you get
i owe my soul to the company store
saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
I owe my soul to the company store, a lot of men didn t and a lot of men died
one fist of iron
Then the left one will, and the store-boss said the well-a bless my soul, i was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
i was born one mornin
