16 Tons (Gaslight 012 ) Berry Vestal

OPENER

Circle left
Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man is made of muscle and blood
Walk around the corner lady..seesaw your taw
Left allemande..weave the ring
You load 16 tons
Swing and promenade
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

FIGURE

Heads (side) promenade 1/2..lead to the right
Dosado..swing thru..boys run..bend the line
Right & left thru..pass the ocean..boys trade
Girls trade..pass thru
Swing and all promenade
You load 16 tons - what do you get
Another day older, deeper in debt

BREAK

Circle left
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel & walked thru the mine
Walk around the corner lady..seesaw your taw
Left allemande..weave the ring
You load 16 tons
Swing and promenade
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

CLOSER

I was born one morning in the drizzlin' rain
Fighting & trouble was my middle name
Walk around the corner lady..seesaw your taw
Left allemande..weave the ring
You load 16 tons
Swing and promenade
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
