«I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
I owe my soul to the company store»

Gosh, this is wonderful. Another album of Merle Travis guitar instrumentals with one of the loveliest versions of "I'll See You In My Dreams" I've heard. If you liked Chet Atkins & Les Paul's hit albums from the 70s, you'll dig this 1968 gem. (Cont'd) #musicsky #music #merletravis #guitar #vinyl

Nifty "free" promo copy too. Plus... that reindeer suit!

Merle Travis& Johnny Bond, Great Songs of the Delmore Brothers. I almost kept this one. But I already have a tribute to the Delmore Brothers by the Louvin Brothers, and this just didn't seem essential. #merletravis #johnnybond #thedelmorebrothers #freelibrary #freerecords #recordexchange #vinyl

look up & listen to "16Tons"> TennesseeErnieFord singing MerleTravis brilliant song-the knockout punch chorus is still true about working in US.
"You load 16 Tons & what do you get/ another day older & deeper in debt/ St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go/I owe my soul to the company store.

And not just health insurance. Americans have almost no societal protections at all. They're always one step away from zero income and zero help. This shit is by design to keep us desperate and under tighter control.

Oh come all you young fellers so young and so fine
Seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mine ...
