Miscellaneous
sixteen ton
Some people say a man
is made out of mud
A poor man’s made
out of muscle and blood.
Muscle and blood,
and skin and bones
A mind that’s weak
and a back that’s strong.

You load sixteen tons
and what do you get?
Another day older
and deeper in debt.
St. Peter don’t you call me
Cause I can’t go.
I owe my soul to the company store.

I was born one morning
when the sun didn’t shine.
I picked up my shovel
and I walked to the mine.
I loaded sixteen tons
of number nine coal.
And the store boss said
“Well bless my soul.”

Chorus You load sixteen tons…..


I was born one morning
it was drizzling rain.
Fighting and trouble
are my middle name.
I was raised in the cambric
by an ol’ mama lion.
Can’t know a high toned woman
make me walk the line.

Chorus You load sixteen tons…..

If you see me coming
better step aside.
A lotta men didn’t,
a lotta men died.
One fist of iron,
the other of steel.
If the right one don’t get you
the left one will.

Chorus You load sixteen tons…..
