Merle Travis. Sixteen Tones (16 tons) (№ 357359)

Sixteen tons of hit the wall, but give!
Live in a loan, debt get in,
Work in silence, without hope for Paradise,
And the soul of the company to the shop to sell...
[You load 16 tons, and what do you get?
With each new day you're older and all bogged down in debt.
St. Peter, do not call me, I will not be able to come
Because my soul laid in the shop]
You load 16 tons, And what do you get?
Another day older, And deeper in debt.
Saint Peter don't you call me,
Cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to the company store.
