sixteen tons - the cactus brothers lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
some people say a man is made out of 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 haul (sixteen tons) and what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
st. 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 day when the sun didn’t shine
i fetched my shovel and i headed for the mine
i hauled sixteen tons of number nine coal
and the boss man said, “well, bless my soul!”

[chorus]
you haul (sixteen tons) and what do you get?
another day older and deeper in dеbt
st. peter, don’t you call me, ‘causе i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store

[instrumental]
[bridge]
well, 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 don’t get you, then the left one will

[chorus]
you haul (sixteen tons) and what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
st. peter, don’t you call me, ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store

[outro]
hey hey!
ooh yeah
