Lyrics of 'Sixteen Tons' by Brave Combo

Do you want to know the lyrics of Sixteen Tons by Brave Combo? You're in the right place.

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
He loaded sixteen tons
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

I was born one morning when it was drizzling rain
Fighting and trouble is my middle name
I was raised in a King Break
By an old mother lion
Ain't no high talking woman gonna make me walk the line
repeat chorus
Some people say a man
Is made out of mud
A poor man's made outta
Muscle and blood
Muscle and blood, skin and bone
A mind that's weak
And a back's that strong
repeat chorus
Well, if you see me comin'
Better step aside
Cause a lot of men didn't
And a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't get you
Then the right one will
repeat chorus
