Intro 1
(A minor)
Verse 1
Some people (A minor) say a man
is made out of mud.
A poor man's made out of
muscle (F sharp minor) and blood. (A minor)
Muscle and blood and skin (D minor) and bones. (D major)
A (A minor) mind that's weak and a
back that's strong.
You load sixteen tons,
what do you get?
Another day older
and deeper in debt.
St. Peter, don't you call me,
cause (D minor) I can't go
I (A minor) 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
(E major) I (A minor) loaded sixteen tons of (D minor) number (A minor) nine coal
(D minor) An (D major) d the (A minor) strawball said,
well, bless my soul
You load sixteen tons
What do you get? (E major)
(A minor) An other day older
and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me
cause (D minor) I can't go
I (A minor) owe my soul to the company store
I was born one morning,
it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in McCain,
break by an old mama (D minor) line
Can't (A minor) no high -toned woman
make me walk the line
You load 16 tons of water,
you get an (E major) other (A minor) day older
And deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me,
cause (F major) I can't go
(D minor) I (A minor) owe my soul to the company store
If you see me coming,
(E major) better step aside
(A minor) A lot of men didn't,
a lot of men died
One fist of iron, (F major) the other (D minor) of steel
If the (A minor) right one don't get you,
then the left one will
You load sixteen tons,
what do you get?
Another day older
and deeper in debt
(E major) St. (A minor) Peter, don't you call
me cause (D minor) I can't go
I (A minor) owe my (A minor) soul (A minor)
to the (A minor) company store.
