millbank Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Happy Birthday! I was out of town yesterday....So, another day older and deeper in debt? 727791[/snapback] Hmmmm....... Sixteen Tons I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine Picked up a shovel and I walked to the mine I hauled Sixteen Tons of number 9 coal And the straw-boss said, "Well, bless my soul" (Chorus:) You haul Sixteen Tons, whadaya get? Another 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 Repeat Chorus Born one morning it was drizzle and rain Fightin' and Trouble are my middle name I was raised in a canebrake by an old mama lion And no high-toned woman make me walk the line Repeat Chorus See me comin' better step aside A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died I got one fist of iron and the other of steel And if the right one don't get ya, the left one will Repeat Chorus Born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine Picked up a shovel and I walked to the mine I hauled Sixteen Tons of number 9 coal And the straw-boss said, "Well, bless my soul" Repeat Chorus Thank you for the thoughts all, I appreciate very much the many kind people of the wall and the privilege to frequent this site. grant
rockpile Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Tennesee Ernie Ford... I had the 45rpm ! It was also covered by Mylon LeFevre and the Holy Smoke Doo Dah Band if anyone remember them. They opened for Jethro Tull in 1971-72, if I remember right. Good catch. old one. Hmmmm.......
