F#m C# You load sixteen tons and what do you get F#m C# Another day older and deeper in debt F#m Bm Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store F#m Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go F#m D C# Saint Peter don't you call me to the company store F#m Bm Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store Come on
