is made out of mud,

a poor man's made out
F

of muscle and blood.

Muscle and blood and skin and bones,

that's strong.

You load sixteen ton, what do you get?
St. Peter, don't you call
I was born one morning
when the sun didn't shine
F
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
Am
Bb
I loaded sixteen ton of number nine coal
F
Am
And the straw boss said,
well, bless my soul
You load sixteen ton,
St. Peter, don't you call
Bb
Am
me cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
C
Am
I was born one morning,
it was rizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in a cane break
make me walk the line
You load sixteen ton,
F
Am
and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me,
If you see me coming, better step aside
C
Am
A lot of men did n't,
a lot of men died
then the left one will
You load sixteen tons,
and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter,
Am
Am
I owe my soul to
Am
Am
the company store.
