You know anybody can write a song, I’ve tried it, you’ve tried it. But few people can write a hit song. And few people recognize a hit song once they’ve heard it. Many years ago a song was written and nobody proclaimed it a hit until a number of years later. Then the damn broke, the whole world did recognized it immediately, here is the composer to sing it Merle Travis and immortal 16 ton.

[Merle Travis - Sixteen Tons]

Some people say a man is made outta mud.
But, a poor man’s made outta muscle and blood.
Muscle and blood and skin and bones.
With a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong.

You load sixteen tons what do you get?
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.

Well, I was born one mornin’ 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, bless my soul,

“He loaded sixteen 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.”

Well, I was born one mornin’, it was drizzlin’ rain.
Fightin’ and trouble are my middle name.
Rain aised in the canebrake by an ol’ mama lion.
Ain’t no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line.

You load sixteen tons and what do you get?
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.

Well, If you see me comin’, you better step aside.
A lotta men didn’t, and a lotta men died.
One fist of iron and the other one of steel,
If the right one don’t get you, then the left one will.

You load sixteen tons and what do you get?
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.
