[Verse 1]
SAmome people say a man is Fmade outtaE mud
AAm poor man's made outta Fmuscle an' Eblood
AmMuscle an' blood an' Fskin an' Dmbone
AmA mind that's weak and a Gback that's Amstrong
[Chorus]
AmYou load sixteen tons an' Fwhat do ya Eget?
AmAnother day older an' Fdeeper in Edebt
AmSaint Peter don't ya call me 'cause FI can't Dmgo
AmI owe my soul to the Ecompany Amstore
[Verse 2]
AmI was born one morning when the Fsun didn't Eshine
AmPicked up my shovel and I Fwent to the Emine
AmLoaded sixteen tons of nFumber nine Dmcoal
AmThe straw boss said, "Well,G Bless myAm soul!"
[Chorus]
AmYou load sixteen tons an' Fwhat do ya Eget?
AmAnother day older an' Fdeeper in Edebt
AmSaint Peter don't ya call me 'cause FI can't Dmgo
AmI owe my soul to the Ecompany Amstore
[Verse 3]
AmI was born one morning it was dFrizzlin' Erain
AmFightin' and trouble are Fmy middle Ename
AmRaised in the canebrake by an Fold mama Dmlion
AmAin't no high-tone woman make me Gwalk the Amline
[Chorus]
AmYou load sixteen tons an' Fwhat do ya Eget?
AmAnother day older an' Fdeeper in Edebt
AmSaint Peter don't ya call me 'cause FI can't Dmgo
AmI owe my soul to the Ecompany Amstore
[Verse 4]
AmIf ya see me coming ya better Fstep asEide
AmA lotta men didn't and a Flotta men Edied
AmWith one fist of iron an' the oFther of sDmteel
AmIf the right one don't get ya then the Gleft one Amwill
[Chorus]
AmYou load sixteen tons an' Fwhat do ya Eget?
AmAnother day older an' Fdeeper in Edebt
AmSaint Peter don't ya call me 'cause FI can't Dmgo
AmI owe my soul to the Ecompany Amstore
