  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.

  Jann

    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.)
