Song lyrics:

SOME... PEOPLE SAY
A MAN IS MADE OUTTA MUD
A POOR MAN'S MADE
OUTTA MUSCLE AND BLOOD

MUSCLE AND BLOOD
AND SKIN AND BONES
A MIND THAT'S-A 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 OWE MY SOUL
TO THE COMPANY STORE

I... WAS BORN ONE MORNIN'
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 STRAW BOSS SAID
WELL, A-BLESS MY SOUL

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 OWE MY SOUL
TO THE COMPANY STORE

I... WAS BORN ONE MORNIN'
IT WAS DRIZZLIN' RAIN
FIGHTIN' AND TROUBLE
ARE MY MIDDLE NAME

I WAS RAISED IN THE CANEBRAKE
BY AN OL' MAMA LION
CAIN'T NO-A HIGH-TONED WOMAN
MAKE ME WALK THE LINE

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 OWE MY SOUL
TO THE COMPANY STORE

IF... YOU SEE ME COMIN'
BETTER STEP ASIDE
A LOT OF MEN DIDN'T
A LOT OF MEN DIED

ONE FIST OF IRON
THE OTHER OF STEEL
IF THE RIGHT ONE
DON'T-A GET YOU
THEN THE LEFT ONE WILL

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 OWE MY SOUL
TO THE COMPANY STORE
