AmFE
Some people say a man is made outta mud
AmFE
A poor man's made outta muscle an' blood
AmFDm
Muscle an' blood an' skin an' bone
AmE7
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
AmFE
You load sixteen tons an' what do ya get?
AmFE
Another day older an' deeper in debt
AmFDm
Saint Peter don't ya call me 'cause I can't go
AmEAm
I owe my soul to the company store
AmFE
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
AmFE
Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine
AmFDm
Loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
AmE7
The strawboss said, 'Well, Bless my soul!'
AmFE
I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain
AmFE
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
AmFDm
Raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
AmE7
Ain't no high-tone woman make me walk the line
AmFE
If ya see me coming ya better step aside
AmFE
A lotta men didn't and a lotta men died
AmFDm
With one fist of iron an' the other of steel
AmE7
If the right one don't get ya then the left one will.
