Brave Combo - Sixteen Tons Lyrics
I...........was born one morningWhen the sun didnt shineI picked up my shovelAnd I walked to the mineI loaded sixteen tonsOf number 9 coalAnd the straw boss said,Well, a bless my soul*********chorus***********He loaded sixteen tonsWhat do you getAnother day older and deeper in debtSt. peter dont you call meCause I cant go,I owe my soul to the company storeI was born one morning when it was drizzling rainFighting and trouble is my middle nameI was raised in a king breakBy an old mother lionAint no high talking woman gonna make me walk the line**********repeat chorus**************Some people say a manIs made out of mudA poor mans made outtaMuscle and bloodMuscle and blood, skin and boneA mind thats weakAnd a backs that strong*************repeat chorus***********Well, if you see me cominBetter step asideCause a lot of men didntAnd a lot of men diedOne fist of iron, the other of steelIf the right one dont get youThen the right one will*********repeat chorus**************
