Some people say man's made out mud,
Well, a poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood, and skin and bones,
And mind that's weak and the back that's strong.
 [bad word] 

You load 16 tons,
And 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 [bad word] store!
 
I was born one morning when sun didn't shine,
I picked up my shovel and I went to the mine,
Loaded 16 tons of number nine coal,
And the straw boss said: "Well, bless my soul!"
 [bad word] 

I was born one morning, it was drizzling rain,
Fighting and Trouble 's my middle name,
I was raised down the Canebrake by an old mountain mine,
And there ain't no hard hearted women make me walk that line!
 [bad word] 

If you see [bad word] , better step aside
lot of men didn't, a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't get you, then the left one will
