Version 1 of the lyrics

  Some people say a man is made outta mud.  Some people say a man is made outta mud.
  A poor man's made outta muscle and blood.  A poor man's made outta muscle and blood.
  Muscle and blood, skin and bones;  Muscle and blood, skin and bones;
  A mind that's weak and a back that's strong.  A mind that's weak and a back that's strong.
      
  You load sixteen tons an' what do you get?  You load sixteen tons an' what do you get?
  Another day older and deeper in debt.  Another day older and deeper in debt.
  St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go:  St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go:
  I owe my soul to the company store.  I owe my soul to the company store.
      
  Well, I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine.  Well, I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine.
  I picked up a shovel, Iwalked out to the mine.  I picked up a shovel, Iwalked out to the mine.
  I loaded sixteen tons of Number 9 coal,  I loaded sixteen tons of Number 9 coal,
1  An' the straw boss said: "Well, bless my soul."   An' the store boss said: "Well, bless my soul." 1
      
  You load sixteen tons an' what do you get?  You load sixteen tons an' what do you get?
  Another day older and deeper in debt.  Another day older and deeper in debt.
  St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go:  St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go:
  I owe my soul to the company store.  I owe my soul to the company store.
      
  Well, I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain.  Well, I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain.
  Fightin' an' trouble are my middle name.  Fightin' an' trouble are my middle name.
  I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion,  I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion,
  Can't no high-toned woman makes me walk the line.  Can't no high-toned woman makes me walk the line.
      
  You load sixteen tons an' what do you get?  You load sixteen tons an' what do you get?
  Another day older and deeper in debt.  Another day older and deeper in debt.
  St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go:  St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go:
  I owe my soul to the company store.  I owe my soul to the company store.
      
  Well, if you see me comin', better step aside.  Well, if you see me comin', better step aside.
  A lotta men didn't; a lotta men died.  A lotta men didn't; a lotta men died.
  One fist of iron, the other of steel.  One fist of iron, the other of steel.
  If the right one don't get you, then the left one will.  If the right one don't get you, then the left one will.
      
  You load sixteen tons an' what do you get?  You load sixteen tons an' what do you get?
  Another day older and deeper in debt.  Another day older and deeper in debt.
  St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go:  St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go:
  I owe my soul to the company store.  I owe my soul to the company store.
