Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man`s made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that`s weak and a back that`s strong
Chorus:
You load sixteen tons, and whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don`cha call me, cause I can`t go
I 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
I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal
And the store boss said, Send " Sixteen Tons" Ringtone to your Cell
