Lyrics
another day older and deeper in debt
Better step aside, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go, another day older and deeper in debt
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
Cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line, another day older and deeper in debt, i owe my soul to the company store
if you see me comin
Fightin and trouble are my middle name, i owe my soul to the company store, one fist of iron
A lot of men didn t and a lot of men died, i was born one mornin 16, i owe my soul to the company store
I owe my soul to the company store, cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line
I picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
If you see me comin, the other of steel
And the store-boss said the well-a bless my soul, cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line, then the left one will
If you see me comin, another day older and deeper in debt
A poor man s made out of muscle and blood, i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine Tons, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
I was born one mornin when the sun didn t shine, muscle and blood and skin and bone
If you see me comin, i owe my soul to the company store, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
i was born one mornin
i loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
a mind that s a-weak and a back that s strong
saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
then the left one will
i was born one mornin
I picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine, and the store-boss said the well-a bless my soul, a lot of men didn t and a lot of men died
Another day older and deeper in debt, i was born one mornin 16, another day older and deeper in debt
You load sixteen tons and what do you get, i loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
I was born one mornin, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go Tons, i owe my soul to the company store
If you see me comin, one fist of iron
I owe my soul to the company store, 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, another day older and deeper in debt, fightin and trouble are my middle name
It was drizzlin rain, i owe my soul to the company store
i owe my soul to the company store
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
saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
A lot of men didn t and a lot of men died, i owe my soul to the company store, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
Then the left one will, muscle and blood and skin and bone, fightin and trouble are my middle name
Cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line, a lot of men didn t and a lot of men died Tons, if you see me comin
cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line
And the store-boss said the well-a bless my soul, another day older and deeper in debt Tennessee, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
I was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion, one fist of iron Ford, a mind that s a-weak and a back that s strong
It was drizzlin rain, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go Tennessee, you load sixteen tons and what do you get
if the right one don t git ya
The other of steel, i owe my soul to the company store Ford, i was born one mornin
A mind that s a-weak and a back that s strong, some people say man is made out of mud
i owe my soul to the company store
Another day older and deeper in debt, you load sixteen tons and what do you get, saint peter don t you call me cause i can t go
a mind that s a-weak and a back that s strong
you load sixteen tons and what do you get
cain t no a high-tone woman make me walk the line
