Some people say a man is made out of mud well a poor mans made outta
muscle and blood..Muscle and blood and skin and bone..and a mind
thats weak..but a back thats strong.
And he was born one morning when the sun didnt shine..
He picked up his shovel and he went to the mines
He loaded 16 tons of that number 9 coal..Til-
the Straw boss said Well-uh b-less my soul!
You load 16 tons and whaddaya get??
another day older and deeper in dept
Saint Peter dontcha call me Cause-
I cant go...I owe my soul to the Company
Store
So if you see him coming..you better step aside,-
Alot of men didnt and alot of men died.
Hes got one fist of iron, and the other of
steel..And if the right one doesnt get you..
Then the night one will...
