Give me your word
Your love will never die
Give me your word
You'll feel the same as I
My heart will beat a lifetime just for you
That's all it wants to do
If yours is just as true
Why don't you
Give me your lips
And let your lips remain
Give me your word
I'm not in love in vain
Give me one hope to guide me
One vow you'll be beside me always
Give me your word

Give me your lips
And let your lips remain
Give me your word
I'm not in love in vain
Give me one hope to guide me
One vow you'll be beside me always
Give me your word

SIXTEEN TONS - 20/01/1956
4 weeks at #1 - 11 weeks on chart

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-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 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 a-bless my soul

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 mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

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

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

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
