Tons Lyrics - Swings Both Ways - Robbie Williams

Some people say a man is made outta mud 

A poor man's made outta muscle an' blood 

Muscle an' blood an' skin an' bones 

A mind that's weak and a back that's strong 

You loaded sixteen tons an' whaddya get? 

Another day older an' deeper in debt 

Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go 

I owe my soul to the company sto' 

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine 

Picked up the shovel and I walked to the mine 

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal 

And the strawboss said, "Well, bless my soul!"

You loaded sixteen tons an' whaddya get? 

Another day older an' deeper in debt 

Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go 

I owe my soul to the company sto' 

I was born one morning, it was drizzlin' rain 

Fightin' and trouble are my middle names 

I was raised in the canebrake by an' ol' mama lion 

Can't no high-tone woman make me walk the line. 

You loaded sixteen tons an' whaddya get? 

Another day older an' deeper in debt 

Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go 

I owe my soul to the company sto' 

If you see me comin', better step aside 

A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died 

With one fist of iron an' the other of steel 

If the right one don't getcha then the left one will.
