Letra de Sixteen Tons - Frankie Laine

sixteen tons.

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 bone
a mind that's weak and a back that's strong

you load sixteen tons, and what do you get
another day older and deeper in debt
say brother don't you call me 'cos i can't go
i owe my soul to the company store

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 nine coal
and the straw boss said 'well bless my soul'

i was born one morning it was drizzling rain
fighting and trouble are my middle name
i was raised in cane-brake by an old mamma lion
can't no high toned woman make me walk the line

if you see me coming better step aside
a lotta men didn't and a lotta men died
one fist of iron the other of steel
if the right one don't get you then the left one will.
