Bm Em F# Muscle an' blood an' skin an' bone Bm (G F#) A mind that's weak and a back that's strong Chorus: Bm G F# You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get? Bm G F# Another day older an' deeper in debt Bm Em F# Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go Bm (F# Bm) I owe my soul to the company store (Riff) Bm G F# If ya hear me a-comin' ya better step aside Bm G F# A lotta men din't an' a lotta men died Bm Em F# With one fist of iron an' the other of steel Bm (G F#) If the right one don' getcha then the left one will. (Chorus + Riff) Bm G F# I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine Bm G F# Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine Bm Em F# Loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal Bm (G F#) And the strawboss said, "Well, Bless my soul!" (Chorus + Riff) Bm G F# I was born one morning in the drizzlin' rain Bm G F# Fightin' and trouble are my middle name Bm G F# I was raised in the canebreak by an' ol' mama hound Bm (G F# ) Ain't no high-tone woman gonna push me around. (Chorus + Riff)
