about

Traditional song arranged by Andrew Emmet

lyrics

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

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

You load sixteen tons of number ore
The Lord he says "Well bless mah soul!"

Saint Peter don't you call me: I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

Some people say he's made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

Saint Peter don't you call me: 'cause I can't go

Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

Back that is strong....

Some people say he's made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

Saint Peter don't you call me: 'cause I can't go

I owe.......... my soul .....
to the company store

Deeper deeper deeper deeper in debt

I owe.......... my soul .....

to the company store
