Sixteen Tons
—Merle Travis
Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of 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 9 coal
And the straw boss said, "Well a-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 old mama lion
Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line
If you see me comin' better step aside
A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't getcha, then the left one will
Verse & Chorus:
| Im | Im | Im | Im |

Divorce Me C.O.D.
—Merle Travis
Just bought me a great long ticket. I'm gonna use it at 4 p.m.
So you can call your secret love and break the news to him
You thought your little romance was on the strict Q.T.
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q. divorce me C.O.D.
Chorus:
I won't be 'round to hear you cry
I'm Texas-bound, and by and by
You can reach me down in Dallas, general delivery
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q. divorce me C.O.D.
There's gonna come a day, gal, when you'll be feeling blue
You'll find that you can't pay your bills with a little old I.O.U.
That dynamite you're messing with, may be T.N.T.
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q. divorce me C.O.D.
Chorus:
Don't need to fall down on your knees
'Cause I know all my ABC's
I ain't no college professor, I ain't got no P.H.D.
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q, divorce me C.O.D.
Alternate chorus:
When winter time comes, I hope you freeze
While I'm layin' around, just twiddlin' my thumbs in my BVDs
I ain't no college professor, I ain't got no P.H.D.
But if you want your freedom P.D.Q, divorce me C.O.D.

House of Gold
—Hank Williams
People steal they cheat and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
But don't they know on the judgement day
That gold and silver will melt away
Chorus:
I'd rather be in a dark cold grave
And to know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my God and doom my soul
What good is gold and silver too
If your heart's not pure and true
Sinner hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray
Chorus
Extra Hank verses:
Jesus said come unto me
I'll break them chains and set you free
I'll carry you to a home on high
Where you'll never melt or die
Jesus died there on the cross
So this world would not be lost
Sinner hear now what I say
Or some day you'll have to pay
