Sixteen Tons (Elite 1011 ) Mike Sikorsky

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Circle left
*Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Allemande your corner do a dosado
Left allemande and then weave it you go
You load sixteen tons, whaddya get?
Dosado and promenade that ole' set
(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

FIGURE

Heads square thru and get me 4 hands you go
Dosado it's once around her you know
Swing thru, boys will run right
Bend your line, go right & left thru, turn 'em tonight
You flutter wheel one time, then slide thru
Swing that corner girl, promenade her you do
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
*I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
