[G#m] [Bm] I was born in Beach Creek, Kentucky, the same little coal mining town Merle Travis was born
in and raised in a company house [N] that the coal mines company owned.
The old company store is still standing there that Merle wrote 16 tons about.
They changed it into a place where they work on a truck.
That's about all that's left.
All the company houses have been torn down.
It's kind of a little ghost town now.
My father played guitar a little and he played Mother Maybell style with no pick.
If I had a pick at all, I'd never seen a thumb pick.
The guitar rag is a tune that Moles told me that a black man named Amos Johnson wrote
and showed it to him.
He showed it to Travis and Travis just loved it.
