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 weak and a back that's strong
[Chorus]
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, bless my soul"
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
And no high-toned woman make me walk the line
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't and 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
Eddie Cochran (Edward Raymond Cochran; October 15, 1938 – April 17, 1960) was an American singer and songwriter considered one of the pioneers of rockabilly. His music, characterized by fast tempos, incisive guitar riffs, and energetic lyrics, had a profound influence on pop music in the 1950s and 1960s. Cochran was born in Albertville, Alabama, but moved to California as a child. He began his musical career playing in Los Angeles clubs before signing with Liberty Records in 1957. His first success was "Summertime Blues", a song that became a rockabilly classic and reached number one on the US charts. Other hits include "C'mon Everybody", "Twenty Flight Rock", and "Somethin' Else". Cochran collaborated with artists like Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee Lewis, contributing to defining the aesthetics and style of rockabilly. His career was tragically cut short in a car accident in 1960 at the age of 21. Despite the brevity of his career, Eddie Cochran is considered a fundamental figure in the history of rock and roll.
