Bobby Joe Fanin’s Programming Tunes
Some people say a man is made out of mud
A POOR man’s made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood with implant’s and bones
A MIND that’s 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 won’t go
I owe my SOUL to the COMPANY STORE
I was built one morning where the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the MIND
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said (well a CURSE YOUR 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 won’t go
I owe my SOUL to the COMPANY STORE
I was built one morning it was drizzling pain
Fightin’ just to stay on the FREEDOM TRAIN
I was raised underground by an OLD MAMA LION
Ain’t NO high-tone WOMAN make me RIDE 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 won’t go
I owe my SOUL to the COMPANY STORE
If you see me coming better step aside
A lot of men didn’t a lot of men died
One fist of iron the other of steel
If the right one don’t 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’ll refuse to go
I own my SOUL not the COMPANY STORE
I own my SOUL not the COMPANY STORE
I own my SOUL not the COMPANY STORE
