Sixteen Tons
Son yeah some people say a man's made outta mudBut a poor man's made outta muscle and bloodMuscle and blood skin and bone a mindThat's weak and a back that's strongYou load sixteen tons what do you getAnother day older and deeper and debtSt Peter don't you call me I can't goI owe my soul to the company storeI owe my soul I owe my soul to the company storeI was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shineGrabbed me a shovel and I went to the mineLoaded sicteen tons of No 9 coalAnd the storeboss said well bless my soulI load sixteen tons what do you get...[ guitar ]Well I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rainFigting and trouble is my middle nameI was raised in wood by mama of mineNo hightoned mama makes me walk the lineI load sixteen tons what do you get...Letras de cancionesIf you see me comin' better step asideA lotta men didn't and a lotta men diedOne fist is iron the other one's steelIf the right one don't get you then the left one willI load sixteen tons what do you get...
