OP Sixteen Tons.
A song I used to sing a lot on my way to holiday jobs when I was sixteen. (never sweet)
I would like to find the original singer.
U-Tube gives Tennessee Ernie Ford and Johnny Cash.
But those are not the sounds I remember. Anyone who would know?
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You 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
