Muscle an' blood an' skin an' bone
Another day older an' deeper in debt
I owe my soul to the company sto'
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine
Loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the strawboss said, "Well, Bless my soul!"
Another day older an' deeper in debt
I owe my soul to the company sto'
I was born one morning in the drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebreak by an' ol' mama-lion
Ain't no high-tone woman make me walk the line.
Another day older an' deeper in debt
I owe my soul to the company sto'
With one fist of iron an' the other of steel
Another day older an' deeper in debt
I owe my soul to the company sto'
