Karaoké Sixteen Tons Geoff Castellucci

Some people say a man is made outta mud

A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

Muscle and blood and skin and bones

You got a mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons and what do you get

Another day older and a-deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cos I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

Saint Peter don't you call me

Saint Peter don't you call me

'Cos I can't go

To the company store

Saint Peter

Don't you call me 'cos I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store, come on

Well 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 load sixteen tons

What do you get

Another day older and a-deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cos I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store yeah

I was born one mornin' in the drizzlin' rain

Fightin' and trouble have been my middle name

I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line

Yeah sixteen tons what do you get

Another day older and a-deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cos I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

I owe my soul, soul

Soul, soul

If you see me comin' better step aside

A lotta men didn't

A lotta men died

A-one fist of iron and the other of steel

If the left one don't getcha then the

Right one will

You load sixteen tons

What do you get

Another day older and a-deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cos I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

Saint Peter don't you call me

Saint Peter don't you call me

'Cos I can't go

To the company store

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cos I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

Saint Peter don't you call me

'Cos I can't go
