(Merle Travis)

Now some people say a man's made outta mud
But a poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood skin and bone
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong.

You load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper and debt
St. Peter don't you call me I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
Grabbed me a shovel and I went to the mine
Loaded sixteen tons of No. 9 coal
And the storeboss said, "Well, bless my soul."

You load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper and debt
St. Peter don't you call me I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.

I was born one mornin' and it was drizzlin' rain
Figtin' and trouble is my middle name
Raisin' the cane reaped by that ol' mom of mine
Ain't no hightoned mama makes me walk the line.

You load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper and debt
St. Peter don't you call me I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.

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

You load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper and debt
St. Peter don't you call me I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store....


Mirror lyrics:

I owe my soul to the company store....
St. Peter don't you call me I can't go
Another day older and deeper and debt
You load sixteen tons what do you get

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

I owe my soul to the company store.
St. Peter don't you call me I can't go
Another day older and deeper and debt
You load sixteen tons what do you get

Ain't no hightoned mama makes me walk the line.
Raisin' the cane reaped by that ol' mom of mine
Figtin' and trouble is my middle name
I was born one mornin' and it was drizzlin' rain

I owe my soul to the company store.
St. Peter don't you call me I can't go
Another day older and deeper and debt
You load sixteen tons what do you get

And the storeboss said, "Well, bless my soul."
Loaded sixteen tons of No. 9 coal
Grabbed me a shovel and I went to the mine
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

I owe my soul to the company store.
St. Peter don't you call me I can't go
Another day older and deeper and debt
You load sixteen tons what do you get

A mind that's weak and a back that's strong.
Muscle and blood skin and bone
But a poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Now some people say a man's made outta mud
