[Dialogue] sing along

There's one more verse I remember:
 
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine.
I picked up my shovel and walked to the line.
I loaded 16 tons of number 9 coal
And the straw boss said, "Well, bless my soul."
 
Wish I could remember where I put my car keys.

If it has lyrics to  music I often remember 
To the best of my  recollection these are the words 
Some people say a man  is made out of mud 
A poor man’s made out  of muscle and blood 
Muscle and blood and  skin and bones 
A mind that’s weak and  a back that’s strong 
Chorus: 
You load sixteen tons  and what do you get 
Another day older and  deeper in debt 
St. Peter don’t you  call me cause I can’t go 
I owe my soul to the  company store 
I was born one morning  it was drizzling rain 
Fussing and fighting  for my middle name 
I was raised in the  cain brick by an old mother lion 
Ain’t  no high  tail woman make me walk the line 
Chorus 
If you see me coming  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 
If the right one don’t  get you 
Then the left one  will 
Chorus 
(In the last chorus “I  oooowe------ my sooooul toooo etc.)
