Two songs
I've had two songs stuck in my head. The first one I woke up with it playing in my brain yesterday and the Second has been on my internal soundtrack for a little over a week.
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
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
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
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
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
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will
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
Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine
Can’t you see that lonesome ship that sails
That sails from shore to shore
If I was on that lonesome ship
I’d sail away no more
Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine
Well I wish I was a pretty little bird
I wish I was a pretty little bee
I wish I was so far away
No more you’d see of me
Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine
The blackest crow that ever flew
Will never turn to white
If you will prove your love to me
I’d turn my day to night
Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine
Oh Lord
No you’ll never break this heart of mine
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
