"Some people say a man is made outta blood, a poor man's made outta muscle and blood, muscle and blood skin and bone, a mind that's weak and a back that's strong, you load sixteen tons, what do you get, another day older and deepr in dept, Saint Peter don't you call me coz I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store..."

"I was born one morning when the sun did'nt 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 dept, Saint Peter don't you call me coz I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store..."
"I was born one day it was drizzling rain, fighting and trouble are my middle name, I was raised in a canebreak by an old mama lion, can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line, you load sixteen tons, what do you get, another day older and deeper in dept, Saint Peter don't you call me coz I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store..." 
"If you see me coming better step aside, a lot of men didn't and a lot of men died, with one fist of iron, the other of steel, if the right one don't get you then the left one will, you load sixteen tons, what do you get, another day older and deeper in dept, Saint Peter don't you call me coz I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store..."

****Quelque fois, c'est trop évident, pourquoi perdre du temps à ré-écrire ce qui l'a déjà été trop bien.
