I was born in a drivin` rain
(yes you was...mmhmm)
It was more of a drizzle...
Fightin` and trouble been my middle name
(nasty boy...look out)
When I come `round better step aside
Well alotta men didn`t
and alotta men died
(doom doom doom doom ba doom)
doom boode doo doode doo doo
Well some folks say a man is made out of mud
A poor man`s made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood, and skin and bone...
Gotta mind that`s weak and a back that`s strong
Chorus:
Sixteen tons, whatta you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
St. Peter, don`t you call me, `cause I can`t go
I owe my soul to the company sto`
When I was born, that sun didn`t shine
Along came a man who worked in a mine
I shoveled sixteen tons of number 9 coal
And the foreman said `well bless my soul!`
(chorus)
You see me comin`, better step aside
Alotta men didn`t, alotta men died.
I got one fist of iron the other is steel
If the left one don`t getcha,
then the right one will!
(chorus)
(ya know sixteen tons)
Sixteen tons...
(a-whatta you get?)
What do you get?
(another day older and deeper in debt)
Ohhhh...so many broke!
St. Pete don`tcha call me, cuz i can`t go.
I owe my soul
(I owe my soul)
I owe my soul
(ooo I owe my soul)
I owe my soul
(oooo owe it to tha company sto`)
Company sto`-o-owee-o-do
be-de-whoa-whoa-o-be-do-do-be-do-do
o-o-obe-do-do-be-de-do
I owe my soul....
