16 Tons

Fm         
Some people say a man is made outta mud 
Fm          Eb          Db          C7
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Fm          Eb          Db          C7 
Muscle and blood and skin and bones 
Fm
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong 

Fm          Eb          Db          C7
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Fm          Eb          Db          C7 
Another day older and deeper in debt 
Fm          Eb          Db          C7
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go 
Fm
I owe my soul to the company store 

Fm
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine 
Fm          Eb          Db          C7
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
Fm          Eb          Db          C7 
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
Fm 
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul" 

Fm          Eb          Db          C7
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Fm          Eb          Db          C7 
Another day older and deeper in debt 
Fm          Eb          Db          C7
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go 
Fm
I owe my soul to the company store 

Fm          
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain 
Fm          Eb          Db          C7
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
Fm          Eb          Db          C7 
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Fm 
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line 

Fm          Eb          Db          C7
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Fm          Eb          Db          C7 
Another day older and deeper in debt 
Fm          Eb          Db          C7
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go 
Fm
I owe my soul to the company store
 
Fm         
If you see me comin', better step a side
Fm          Eb          Db          C7 
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died 
Fm          Eb          Db          C7
One fist of iron, the other of steel 
Fm
If the right one don't a-get you 
Then the left one will 

Fm          Eb          Db          C7
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Fm          Eb          Db          C7 
Another day older and deeper in debt 
Fm          Eb          Db          C7
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go 
Fm              C7            Fm
I owe my soul to the company store
