To celebrate this nice little 4 day stretch of potential debauchery we thought it would be appropriate to release a little ditty called 16 Ton. It was written and first recorded by Merle Travis in 1946 and was made famous by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1955. It’s chorus line "another day older and deeper in debt. I owe my soul to the company store" seems wholly relevant in today’s times. So before you spend your wages on hookers and booze you may wanna buy more things. Or don’t! Ain’t nobody takes heed to a word we say. So enjoy this catchy number and enjoy your weekend. 

Sixteen Tons

I’m a working man x 3
That’s what I am 
I’m a working man
And I need a change x2
I’m a working man and I need a change I need a change

Chorus:
She smells like hairspray and desperation.
I’ve seen the way your woman looks at me.

I lost my heart on the road x 3
Cause I’m a working man
And I need a change
The devil took my soul 
When I was out on the road
Cause I’m a working man and I need a change I need a change
