Some peo-ple say a man is made out-ta mud
A poor man's made out-ta mus-cle and blood
Mus-cle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load six-teen tons, what do you get
An-oth-er day old-er and deep-er in debt
Saint Pe-ter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the com-pa-ny store
