Some folks say a man is made outta mud

But a poor man made outta muscle and blood

Muscle and blood skin and bones

A mind that weak and a back that strong

You load sixteen tons and what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don you call me I can go

I owe my soul to the company store yeah ha

I was born when the sun didn shine

I became a man who would work in the mine

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

The foreman said a my soul

I was born in drizzlin rain

Fightin and trouble was my middle name

When I come around you better step aside

A lot of men didn and a lot of men died yes they did

You load sixteen tons and what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don you call me I can go

I owe my soul to the company store

And hear you sing it one time with me

Sixteen tons and what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don you call me I can go

I owe my soul to the company store

Everybody humming only

Mmm hmm ooh ooh yeah

Mmm hmm ooh ooh
