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 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 LOADED
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 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
