The next song that we're going to do features our bass singer, Jim Henry, [Db] and it's a song made famous by Tennessee Ernie Ford.
It's called 16 Tons.
[Eb] Some [F] people say a man is made out of [D] mud [Ebm] A poor man's needs a muscle and blood A muscle and blood, [Abm] a skin and bone
A [G] mind that's weak and a back [Bb] that's strong I [Ebm] learned 16 times, and what [Bbm] I'll get The day I'll rent a neighboring debt I say, Peter, don't you call me, cause I [Abm] can't go I owe my soul [Eb] to the company store
When
[A]
[Eb] the sun didn't shine I picked up my [Ebm] shovel And I walked through the mine I learned 16 times, [E] a number that I told And the [F] song I'll sing will bless [Bb] my soul You [B] know, 16 tons, and what'll you [Ebm] get Another day I'll rent a neighboring debt I say, Peter, don't you call me, [B] cause I can't go
