A little different chords than what can be found on the www, but it sounds much better and more serious, even though the song is very simple and atractive. |
[Intro]
Em G C B7
Em G C B7
Em G Am Edim
Em
[Verse 1]
Em G C B7
Some people say a man is made outta mud
Em G C B7
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Em G C B7
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
Em
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
[REF]
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
[Verse 3]
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, "Well, a-bless my soul"
[REF]
[Verse 4]
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Can't no high toned woman make me walk the line
[REF]
[Verse 5]
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't get you
Then the left one will
