Sixteen Tons (Live from London)
Merle Travis
Well some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bone
A mind that's weak and back that's strong
I load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
[Jeff Beck's guitar solo]
I said people say the man is made outta mud

A mind that's weak and back that's strong
I load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go
