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 bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

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

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 a bless my soul

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

I was born one morning it was drizzling rain
Fighting and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
Ain't no high tone woman make me walk the line

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

If you see me coming better step aside
A lot of men didn't a lot of men died
One fist of iron the other of steel
If the right one don't get you then the left one will

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

La gente dice que de barro soy
de musculo, sangre y de hueso soy
por eso el día que a la mina entré
16 toneladas de carbón saqué

Con 16 toneladas de que sirvió
la tienda mi raya me descontó
san Pedro no me llames cierra tu portón
que mi alma ya se la llevó el patrón

Nací con suerte soy hombre de acción
con las mujeres soy castigador
para los golpes soy un fiero león
pero mas fiero pa sacar carbón

Con 16 toneladas de que sirvió
la tienda mi raya me descontó
san Pedro no me llames cierra tu portón
que mi alma ya se la llevó el patrón

Nací con suerte soy hombre de acción
con las mujeres soy castigador
solo una prieta a mi me desplumó
me mando al empeño y a sacar carbón

Con 16 toneladas de que sirvió
la tienda mi raya me descontó
san Pedro no me llames cierra tu portón
que mi alma ya se la llevó el patrón

No miren feo si me ven venir
los que me vieron quisieron morir
con este cuerpo los mande al panteón
por ver tan feo a quien sacó carbón
