Some People Say A Man Is Made Of A Mud
A Poor Man's Made Of Muscie And Blood
Muscle And Blood And Skin And Bones
A Mind That's Weak And A Back That's Strong

*You Load Sixteen Tons, What Do You Get
Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt
Saint Peter Don't You Call Me Cause I Can't Go
I Woe My Soul To The Company Store

I Was Born One Mornin'
When The Sun Didn't Shine
I Picked Up My Shovel, I Walked To The Mine
I Loaded Sixteen Tons Of Number Nine Coal
And The Strawboss Said " Well Best My Soul "

(Repeat *)

I Was Born One Mornin', It Was Drizzling Rain
Fightin' And Trouble Are My Middle Name
I Was Raised In A Cane
Brake By An Old Name'lion Can't
No, Icall Woman Make Me Walk The Line

(Repeat *)

If You See Me Comin' Better Step A Side
A Lotta Man Didn't, A Lotta Men Died
One Fist Of Iron, The Other Of Steel
If The Right One Don't Get You
Then The Left On Will You

(Repeat *)
