            Agenda

              Some people say a man is made out of mud
              A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
              Muscle and blood and skin 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 can't go
              I owe my soul to the company store

              I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
              I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
              I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
              And the straw boss said well a bless my soul

              [Chorus]

              I was born one morning it was drizzling rain
              Fighting and trouble are my middle name
              I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
              Ain't no high tone woman make me walk the line

              [Chorus]

              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
              [Chorus]
