Eddie Cochran
Sixteen Tons

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta 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, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' 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 straw boss said "Well, bless my soul"

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
And no high-toned woman make me walk the line

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't and a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't get you then the left one will



Mirror lyrics:


If the right one don't get you then the left one will
One fist of iron, the other of steel
A lotta men didn't and a lotta men died
If you see me comin', better step aside

And no high-toned woman make me walk the line
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain

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

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

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