Sixteen Tons
Some people say a man

is made out of mud

A poor man's made

out of muscle and blood
St. Peter don't you
call me 'cos 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 was born one morning

it was drizzling rain
Fighting and trouble

are my middle name
If you see me coming

better step aside
A lotta men didn't

a lotta men died
St. Peter don't you
call me 'cos I can't go

I owe my soul

to the company store
