Karaoke Track: Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford (Toshiba)

Some people say a man

is made out of mud
A poor man&#39;s made
out of muscle and blood

Muscle and blood
and skin and bones
A mind that&#39;s weak and

a back that&#39;s strong

You load sixteen tons

W hat do you get?

Another day older
And deeper in debt

I owe my soul

to the company store

I was born one morning
when the sun didn&#39;t shine
I picked up my shovel
and walked to the mine

You load sixteen tons

W hat do you get?

Another day older
And deeper in debt

I owe my soul

to the company store

I was born one morning
it was drizzlin&#39; rain

Fightin&#39; and trouble

are my middle name

You load sixteen tons

W hat do you get?

Another day older
And deeper in debt

I owe my soul

to the company store

If you see me comin&#39;

better step aside

A lot of men didn&#39;t
a lot of men died

One fist of iron
the other of steel

If the right one don&#39;t get you

Then the left one will

You load sixteen tons

W hat do you get?

Another day older
And deeper in debt

I owe my soul

to the company store
