A minorAm FF E MajorE
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A minorAm FF E MajorE
A augmentedA poor man's made outta muscle an' blood
A minorAm FF DmDm
Muscle an' blood an' skin an' bone
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
A augmentedA mind that's weak and a back that's strong
chorus:
A minorAm FF E MajorE
You load sixteen tons an' what do ya get?
A minorAm FF E MajorE
Another day older an' deeper in debt
A minorAm FF DmDm
Saint Peter don't ya call me 'cause I can't go
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
I owe my soul to the company store
A minorAm FF E MajorE
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
A minorAm FF E MajorE
Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine
A minorAm FF DmDm
Loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
The strawboss said, "Well, Bless my soul!"
chorus
A minorAm FF E MajorE
I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain
A minorAm FF E MajorE
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
A minorAm FF DmDm
Raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Ain't no high-tone woman make me walk the line
chorus
A minorAm FF E MajorE
If ya see me coming ya better step aside
A minorAm FF E MajorE
A augmentedA lotta men didn't and a lotta men died
A minorAm FF DmDm
With one fist of iron an' the other of steel
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
If the right one don't get ya then the left one will.
