LYRICS: 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 16 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. 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 16 tons of number nine coal And the straw boss said, "Well, a-bless my soul" You load 16 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. 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 Can't no high toned woman make me walk the line You load 16 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. 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 get you Then the left one will You load 16 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store

LYRICS: Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm I know, it's been coming for some time When it's over, so they say It'll rain a sunny day I know, shining down like water I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain? I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain? Coming down on a sunny day Yesterday, and days before Sun is cold and rain is hard I know, been that way for all my time 'Til forever, on it goes Through the circle, fast and slow I know, it can't stop, I wonder I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain? I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain? Coming down on a sunny day Yeah! I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain? I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain? Coming down on a sunny day

LYRICS: I feel tears wellin' up Cold and deep inside Like my heart's sprung a big break And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful That I may never shake Now, you might say that I was takin' it hard Since you wrote me off with a call But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow When I may break right down and bawl Now the race is on And here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back They're tryin' not to fall My heart's out of the runnin' True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartache And the winner loses all One day I ventured in love Never once suspectin' What the final result would be How I lived in fear of wakin' up each mornin' And findin' that you're gone from me There's ache and pain in my heart For today was the one I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her And I came out in second place Now the race is on And here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back They're tryin' not to fall My heart's out of the runnin' True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all

LYRICS: Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Oh, I'm begging of you please don't take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him even though you can Your beauty is beyond compare With flaming locks of auburn hair With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green Your smile is like a breath of spring Your skin is soft like summer rain And I can not compete with you, Jolene And I can easily understand How you could easily take my man But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene He talks about you in his sleep There's nothing I can do to keep From crying when he calls your name, Jolene, Jolene Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him even though you can Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him even though you can I had to have this talk with you My happiness depends on you And whatever you decide to do, Jolene And you could have your choice of men But I could never love again Cause he's the only one for me, Jolene, Jolene Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Oh, I'm begging of you please don't take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him even though you can Jolene, Jolene
