Karaoké 16 Tons Robbie Williams

Some people say a man is made outta mud

A poor man's made outta muscle an' blood

A muscle an' blood an' skin an' bones

A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

You loaded sixteen tons an' what do you get?

Another day older an' deeper in debt

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

I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

Picked up the shovel and I walked to the mine

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

And the strawboss said well bless my soul

You loaded sixteen tons an' what do you get?

Another day older an' deeper in debt

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

I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain

Fightin' and trouble are my middle names

Raised in the canebrake by an' ol' mama lion

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

You loaded sixteen tons an' what do you get?

Another day older an' deeper in debt

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

I owe my soul to the company store

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

You loaded sixteen tons an' what do you get?

Another day older an' deeper in debt

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

I owe my soul to the company store
