The Dirty Rotten Vipers - 16 Tons

{Verse 1: Will Harrington, Will Harrington & Johanna Rose}
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, 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

{Verse 2}
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 9 coal
And the straw boss said, "Well-a bless my soul!"

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