Sixteen Tons is a country-folk song by Merle Travis (1917-1983). It was written in 1946 and immediately caused controversy as the lyrics were seen as potentially subversive.

Another day older and deeper in debt.? The song shot to famewhen it was recorded by Tennessee Ernie Ford (1919-1991) in 1955 as a B-side; it quickly became popular selling over 2 million copies and holding the No.1 position on both the Country Music and Popcharts.Sixteen Tons has been arranged for Piano Voice and Guitar.
