[Am]Some people [Am]say a man is [F]made out of [E]mud,
well a [Am]poor man's [Am]made out of [F]muscle and [E]blood.
[Am]Muscle and [Am]blood [Dm]skin and [Dm]bone,
a [Am]mind that's [Am]weak and a [(E]back that's [Am]strong.
[CHORUS]
[Am]You load [Am]sixteen [Am]tons, and [F]what do you [E]get?
A[Am]nother day [Am]older and [F]deeper in [E]debt.
St.[Am]Peter don't you [Am]call me, cause [Dm]I can't [Dm]go,
I [Am]owe my [Am]soul to the [E]company [Am]store.
I was [Am]born one [Am]morning when the [F]sun didn't [E]shine,
I [Am]picked up my [Am]shovel and I [F]walked to the [E] mine,
I loaded [Am]sixteen [Am]tons of [Dm]number-nine [Dm]coal,
and the [Am]straw boss [Am]said: "Well, a-[E]bless my [Am]soul!"
[CHORUS]
I was [Am]born one [Am]morning, it was [F]drizzlin' [E]rain
[Am]Fightin' and [Am]trouble are [F]my middle [E]name,
I was [Am]raised in the [Am]cane-brake by an [Dm]old mama [Dm]hound,
Ain`t [Am]no a high-toned [Am]woman gonna [E]push me [Am]`round.
[CHORUS]
If you [Am]see me [Am]comin' better [F]step a-[E]side,
a [Am]lot of men [Am]didn't and a [F]lot of men [E]died.
[Am]One fist of [Am]iron, the [Dm]other of [Dm]steel,
if the [Am]right one don't [Am]get you then the [E]left one [Am]will
[CHORUS]
well a [Am]poor man's [Am]made out of [F]muscle and [E]blood.
[Am]Muscle and [Am]blood [Dm]skin and [Dm]bone,
a [Am]mind that's [Am]weak and a [(E]back that's [Am]strong.
[CHORUS]
[Am]You load [Am]sixteen [Am]tons, and [F]what do you [E]get?
