Letra de Sixteen toons

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 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 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 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

If you see me coming 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 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
