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

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

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'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' rain

Fightin' 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'

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 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
