(Riff)
[Verse]
Some Bmpeople say a man is Gmade outta F#mud
A Bmpoor man's made outta Gmuscle and F#blood
BmMuscle and blood and Emskin and F#bones
Bm (G F#)
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
[Chorus]
You load Bmsixteen tons, Gwhat do you F#get?
BmAnother day older and Gdeeper in F#debt
Saint BmPeter, don't you call me 'cause EmI can't F#go
Bm (F# Bm)
I owe my soul to the company store
(Riff)
[Verse]
I was Bmborn one mornin' when the Gsun didn't F#shine
I Bmpicked up my shovel and I Gwalked to the F#mine
I loaded Bmsixteen tons of Emnumber nine F#coal
Bm (G F#)
And the straw boss said, "Well, bless my soul!"
(Chorus + Riff)
[Verse]
I was Bmborn one mornin', it was Gdrizzlin' F#rain
BmFightin' and trouble are Gmy middle F#name
I was Bmraised in the canebrake by an' Gol' mama F#lion
Bm (G F# )
Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line
(Chorus + Riff)
If you Bmsee me comin', betterG step aF#side
A Bmlotta men didn't, a Glotta men dF#ied
BmOne fist of iron, the Emother of sF#teel
Bm (G F#)
If the right one don't get you, then the left one will
(Chorus + Riff)
