Artist: Tennessee Ernie Ford
Song: Sixteen Tons
Translate: German | French | Spanish | Italian | Russian | Portuguese
Send "Sixteen Tons" Ringtone to your Cell 
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
Chorus:
You load sixteen tons, and whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don'cha 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 store boss said, "Well bless my soul!"
Chorus
I was born one morning, it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the cambric by an old mama lion
Cain't no high-toned woman make me walk the line
Chorus
If you see me comin' better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't getcha then the left one will
Chorus
