[00:00.00]Sixteen Tons - Big Bill Broonzy/D.R
[00:17.62]Some people says the man's made out of mud
[00:20.89]Man's made out of flash and blood
[00:23.93]Flash and blood and skin and bone
[00:26.77]A mind that's week and a back that's strong
[00:29.58]You load sixteen tons so what do you get
[00:33.05]Another day older and deeper in debt
[00:35.69]So St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[00:39.30]I owe my soul to the company store
[00:45.32]I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
[00:49.01]Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine
[00:51.42]I loaded sixteen ton of number nine coal
[00:54.99]The straw-boss said God-dog your soul
[00:57.88]You load sixteen tons and now what do you get
[01:01.41]Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:03.95]So St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:07.51]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:12.63]I was born one mornin' when it was drizzle in rain
[01:16.43]Fightin' and shootin' is my middle name
[01:18.94]I was born in a canebreak raised by my ol' mama hound
[01:22.97]No high-tone mama can make me walk the line
[01:25.75]I load sixteen tons so what do you get
[01:28.87]Another day older and deeper in debt
[01:31.64]So St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:35.47]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:41.38]You see me comin' you better step aside
[01:45.26]A lot of men didn't and a whole lot of them died
[01:48.11]One fist of iron and one of steal
[01:50.84]The right one don't get you boy the left one will
[01:54.16]So load sixteen ton what do you get
[01:56.97]Another day older and deeper in debt
[02:00.11]So St Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[02:05.32]I owe my soul to the company store
