[00:05.38]Some people say a man is made outta mud
[00:09.84]A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
[00:13.17]Muscle and blood and skin and bone
[00:15.8]With a mind that's weak and a back that's strong
[00:18.92]You load sixteen tons what do you get
[00:22.37]Another day older and deeper and debt
[00:25.07]St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[00:28.41]I owe my soul to the company store
[00:36.63]I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
[00:41.07]I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
[00:43.95]Loaded sixteen tons of No 9 coal
[00:47.21]And the storeboss said well bless my soul
[00:50.18]You load sixteen tons what do you get
[00:53.66]Another day older and deeper and debt
[00:56.52]St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[00:59.79]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:07.93]I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain
[01:12.55]Figtin' and trouble are my middle name
[01:15.64]Raisin' the cane break by an old mountain lion
[01:18.36]Ain't no hightoned woman makes me walk the line
[01:21.94]You load sixteen tons what do you get
[01:25.05]Another day older and deeper and debt
[01:27.94]St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:31.31]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:39.56]If you see me comin' better step aside
[01:44.32]A lotta men didn't a lotta men died
[01:47.43]One fist of iron the other of steel
[01:50.03]If the right one don't get you then the left one will
[01:53.25]You load sixteen tons what do you get
[01:56.72]Another day older and deeper and debt
[01:59.58]St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[02:04.96]I owe my soul to the company store
