[Start] [Verse] Am ■ Some people say a man is made out of mud Am A poor man's made out of muscle and blood Am7 Dm Muscle and blood and skin and bones Am Am7 Am A mind that's weak and a back that's strong Am You load sixteen tons and what do you get Am Another day older and deeper in debt Dm Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go Am I owe my soul to the company store Am I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine Am I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine Dm I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal Am And the straw boss said Well abless my soul G Am You load sixteen tons and what do you get Am Another day older and deeper in debt Dm Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go Am I owe my soul to the company store Am I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain Am Fightin' and trouble are my middle name Dm Raised in the Canebrake by an old mama lion Am Am Ain't no a hightoned woman make me walk the line G Am You load sixteen tons and what do you get Am Another day older and deeper in debt Dm Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go Am I owe my soul to the company store [Chorus] Am If you see me comin' better step aside Am A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died Dm With one fist of iron and the other of steel Am G Am If the right one don't get you then the left one will Am You load sixteen tons and what do you get Am Another day older and deeper in debt Dm Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go Am I owe my soul to the company store ■ [Outro] [End]
