20세기를 빛낸 팝송 베스트 100, 27위곡
(배철수 음악캠프, 2002.11)

(1955.11.26~1956.1.13 빌보드 1위곡)



Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
Chorus:
You load sixteen tons, and whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don'cha call me, cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born on e morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal
And the straw boss said, "Well bless my soul!"
Chorus
I was born on e morning, it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
Cain't no high-toned woman make me walk the line
Chorus
If you see me comin' better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
 on e fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right on e don't getcha then the left on e will
