Sixteen Tons Tennessee Ernie Ford
Some people say [Am]a man is made out [G]of mud[F] [E]
[Am]A poor man's [G]made out of [F]muscle and [E]blood
[Am]Muscle and [G]blood and [F]skin and [E]bone
[Am]A mind that's [G]weak and a [F]back that's [E]strong.
ch: [Am]You load sixteen [G]tons and [F]what do you [E]get?
[Am]Another day [G]older and [F]deeper in [E]debt
[Am]Saint Peter don't you [G]call me 'cause [F]I can't [E]go
[Am]I owe my [G]soul to the [E]company [Am]store.
[Am]If you see me [G]coming better [F]step a[E]side
[Am]A lot of men [G]didn't and a [F]lot of men [E]died
[Am]With one fist of [G]iron and the [F]other of [E]steel
[Am]If the right one don't [G]get you then the [F]left one [E]will.
ch: [Am]You load sixteen [G]tons and [F]what do you [E]get?
[Am]Another day [G]older and [F]deeper in [E]debt
[Am]Saint Peter don't you [G]call me 'cause [F]I can't [E]go
[Am]I owe my [G]soul to the [E]company [Am]store.
[Am]I was born one [G]morning when the [F]sun didn't [E]shine
[Am]Picked up my [G]shovel and I [F]went to the [E]mine
[Am]Loaded sixteen [G]tons of [F]number nine [E]coal
[Am]And the strawboss [G]said, "Well, [F]Bless my [E]soul!"
ch: [Am]You load sixteen [G]tons and [F]what do you [E]get?
[Am]Another day [G]older and [F]deeper in [E]debt
[Am]Saint Peter don't you [G]call me 'cause [F]I can't [E]go
[Am]I owe my [G]soul to the [E]company [Am]store.
[Am]I was born one [G]morning in the [F]drizzling [E]rain
[Am]Fighting and [G]trouble are [F]my middle [E]name
[Am]I was raised in the [G]canebreak by an [F]old mama [E]hound
[Am]Ain't no high-tone [G]woman gonna [F]push me [E]around.
ch: [Am]You load sixteen [G]tons and [F]what do you [E]get?
[Am]Another day [G]older and [F]deeper in [E]debt
[Am]Saint Peter don't you [G]call me 'cause [F]I can't [E]go
[Am]I owe my [G]soul to the [E]company [Am]store.
