Number nine coal refers to a particular seam of coal of Kentuckian minefields that is at a medium depth the seams in Kentucky are numbered from the shallower n. Usually the depth of a coal seam is associated with higher degrees of metamorphism and therefore higher hardness so it is more hard work extracting it and more energy content per unit of mass therefore it is more valuable on the market.
In the verse "I loaded sixteens tons of number nine coal" the singer condenses the hard and valuable work he did. It means that no matter how good or how hard you work, or how smart you are- it will never be enough to get out of that hole that's been dug for you.
It means that the wealthy always win and the workers won't even get to die to escape their debt. I fear it's our future and our past.
My dad used to sing it to me and I thought he was just being a sour puss. He was smarter than I gave him credit. I looked it up because I'm thinking of the next election. Back in the day when trains abd all ran on coal they needed alot of coal. The big business men didn't pay men that mined it well and the only store around was run by the company with things extremly overpriced.
They used credit in the stores and that's how they became in debt that's why he owes his soul to the company store. Well sixteen tons is what they expected a man to mine in one day.
No matter how much he mined or hard work he put forward it was never enough plus credit piling up and he was a rough man. That's the story behind it the meaning is that the big businesses will always take advantage of the little man, no matter how tough he is. I was hauling dirt from the neighbors who is putting in his pool. He loaded my wheel barrel 9 times already so I could fill my low spots and hide my pine tree roots.
He loaded it over his fence, and I wheeled it to my low spots. I thought of this song and I remembered Tennessee Ernie Ford sang it. Mind you I am 84 years old. I'm almost done, it started to rain today. So I had to quit, resume tomorrow maybe if it don't rain.
These days, of course, we're so much more enlightened. Now we don't owe our souls to the company store, instead we owe them to the bank that owns the company. As the French say "Plus ca change, plus ca reste la meme chose". So come on America. Get behind Bernie, and let's change the world for the better. Thank the Lord, and our United States Constitution that we have the freedom to speak out against the injustice of unions and "straw bosses" and to expose such unfair practices.
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 If you see me comin', better step aside A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died One fist of iron, the other of steel If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will You load sixteen tons, what do you get? 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. Fallout Wiki Explore.
