CHORUS:
I loaded sixteen tons and what do I get
Another day older and deeper in debt.h
Saint Peter don't call me cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.
I was born one morning, was a drizzling rain
A fussing and fighting ain't my middle name.
Well they raised me in a corner by a Mammy hound
I'm as mean as a dog but I'm as gentle as a lamb.

CHORUS

Well I got up one morning, the sun didn't shine,
I picked up my shovel and I went to the mine,
I loaded sixteen ton of that number four coal
The face boss said, ''Well bless my soul!"

CHORUS

I loaded sixteen tons, I tried to get ahead,
Got deeper and deeper in debt instead.
Well they got what I made, and they wanted some more,
And now I owe my soul at the company store.

CHORUS

Well I went to the office to draw some script
The man, he told me -- was a wreck in the dip.
To clear the tracks would be a week or more
But your credit's still good at our company store.

CHORUS

If you see me coming, step aside.
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died
I got a fist of iron, I got a fist of steel,
The left one don't get you then the right one will.

CHORUS

1) You did not write this

2) It was written by tennesse ernie ford back in the 50's/

3) To post this without attributing the author is plagiarism.

4) The admins of this site are not going to tolerate your antics in the Politics section, it's syndicated to too many other web sites to go unnoticed.

5) Have a nice day, asshole.


And he didn't get half the wording right either.

Wow...even the link doesn't link back to a site that credits Tennessee Ernie Ford.

When you plagiarize, it's better to pick an obscure source.

but you still managed to get five comments (including this one).

It's all good.

No, it's not.

It's plagiarism, and changing a word around here or there doesn't change that.
